One Day
I looked for you
and you weren't there...
I checked the RecRoom
and under the stairs.
I searched the storage house
the attic too
That's funny...I must miss you.
I went to the backyard,
Walked the nearest park
set down on a bench
and began to think...
In all of the places
In every face
not one resembled
a trace of you.
I looked for your love
They said the price
would be high-
I paid them no mind
I had nothing but time
I had love on my side-
I had a Lion's pride-
I had you as my guide-
I had you, til you died-
I had...a...fog
...over my right eye.
...til the moon rises
...at noon, cries
...the Loon.
A Bird heard?
We hope...
I look...
We wait...
I stay...
We think...
I pray...

My To Be Read List
I have been taking some time away from writing. I haven't forgotten about Vocal, the truth is I just have been too busy pursuing other things to write online and honestly, my little family and I just had a really hard month between the flu and a weird eye infection/cold circulating our house. I'm currently sipping some warm peppermint tea because my throat is sore.

This made me sad. My dad is aging so fast that it scares me to think how much time I have with him. Beautiful poem.
