Gone Away Poem by Rabi Anata

And there she was
Gone away
Just like the wind
Her ashes flew in every possible direction
And hid in the limitless waves of the sea
Oh, what sadness in my heart
There she was
The one I loved

I drained my every sorrow
Until I recognized my yawning eyes
Lusting after sleep

All the day dragged on
When there wasn't her laughter
Or her cheerful sounds
Erecting me from my dreary daydreams;
Without her lovingly carrying me
Onto the later day

Now her face isn't clear
From the fading 60's photos
So here she's become
Almost as a faceless ghost
Gone away
As we're all bound
Consuming every tear
From this despairing body of mine
