Countdown

It's painful,
the delay
in my being with you,
haunted by memories
when the what ifs
come true.

Can't dance to the rhythms,
legs are too weak.
Only words from these fingers
have strength
in print speak.

Each dawn
I awake
from the night's prayers before.
But the pain
has not ceased,
and the wearing is more.

This feeling
continues
as the March winds
still blow,
in silence of suffering
of wanting to let go

To feel peace
To feel warmth
To feel pride
To feel love.
It's a countdown to change
from the all
of above.

An Irish comedian said

"Go with your God, whoever or whatever you consider them to be"

That seem to link to your words

I like the lines:

"Can't dance to the rhythms,

Perhaps you need a new song m'dear...
Your words definitely have strength
Your emotions are clearly showing... as usual

M- this line, 'Can't dance to the rhythms,
' I wish I'd written that!

Home is a feeling I buried in you ...
