The cremated ruins of my world lie now in an urn no use for me remains. Scattered bits of love and reminisce are retrieved from the tick-tocking that threatens to steal them and added daily but the bottomless urn overfills with nothing but despair. Lord take my words, no longer do they have meaning; take my ears, without his voice in it this earth is but a void; take my heart, it is ripped beyond repair; take my eyes for all the colors have melded; take the warmth of the sun for this coldness is impenetrable. Take everything I am or might ever be just please please give my baby back to me... Even now my irrational pleadings tell me that it is not possible, this prayer that I pray - absence is unto death as breath is unto life. But in this dark hour, dwelling in illogicality, comfort seems entirely plausible and so one last thing of You my Lord I will inquire if I cannot once again hold his beating heart next to mine, then please take the air that I breathe... |

take my ears, without his voice in it this earth is but a void; take my heart, it is ripped beyond repair; take my eyes for all the colors have melded; take the warmth of the sun for this coldness is impenetrable. There isn't a thing I could say that wouldn't be banal or inadequate... the pain your pen conveys is beyond touching... I weep for you, dear lady. |

jellybeans You bring me so sharply back to this: Rock the cradle hums the silence, swaddle the aching story in soft memories lullaby. Push again the breath of morning into the arms of waiting listen before the wail and stench of dying digest the offering of my needful retrospect. Become the giggles and glee of summer’s lasting when again you are my whimsy and I your wisdom. -------- |

I know this kind of loss and your poetry is a beautiful description of it. Time does eventually take the edge off it. |

jellybeans, As you are probably aware, I do feel extraordinarily for your loss as the one year anniversary of the loss of my Grandbaby approaches on August 6th. When my Daughter and I get together again, our plan is to spread part of Cole's remains out over the ocean and spend some quality Father/Daughter time together in quiet reflection. God bless and thank you for sharing. -Bob |
