You Were There

You were there


It was there

small and fragile


It was there

hopeful and waiting


It was there

fighting but failing


To Thrive


It was there

But now

it is gone


I miss it

without ever knowing

what it would have been


I wonder

looking back now

how it might have changed me


I still cry

for the loss of it.

For the emptiness inside


It was there

But now

It is gone.


I don't know that I ever said goodbye

or ever will be able to...

so Goodbye for now, till the next time

My heart becomes heavy

with the weight of your absence


You were there,

But now you are gone

Goodbye-

for now.


My Child.

Laws of Nature

Laws of Nature


Must It Die

When It has yet

to flourish

to bloom

to grow

to climb


Must it be Hidden

when it has yet

to be seen

to be known

to be admired

to be shown


Must It be Snuffed out

When it has yet

to shine

to glow

to warm

to burn


Must It be Killed

When It has yet

to live

to breathe

to sense

and simply-

to be
