Hope Called

You scampered
from me
in those dog days
faster than a squirrel
harassed by a cat
because the fire
went out

so you said

~*~

now cool encroaches

you've come
for the last embers
believing there is warmth
in cinders

there are no answers
you can give
to silent whys
of why you still live

even your smiling eyes

cannot hide thin guise

I've never lied
nor shall I now

~*~

time was given
to mend
penance
that could have come
but the strain
of loss

too much

the feel of
cannon blast to stomach
at truths told
cratered too deep

you asked where it went
you didn’t see it
sticking to the
heel of your
shoe when
you left
the first
time

spitting out the
obvious
does nothing for
your intelligence,
nor mine

there's the door
here are your bags
Hope is waiting

Standing Ovation!!!! Yes, truth can be like a cannon blast to the stomach. This is just an awesome write. Into my library it goes. Chris
