Helen Wilby Poems
Like a thief in the night
You came
Creeping silently
Stealing all that was most precious
...
I took my glasses off today
Only for a moment
Because the bright light hurt my eyes
It will take some getting used to
...
Too Complicated
Burning flaming fire fire fire
Walking on that high highwire
...
We went walking down the dusty road
All the way to the barbed wire end
40 days and 40 nights
Lost in the wilderness my friend
...
The Best Poem Of Helen Wilby
Like A Thief In The Night
Like a thief in the night
You came
Creeping silently
Stealing all that was most precious
Leaving me to wake to the chaos
That used to be a well ordered life.
Tiptoeing through my house
Removing all of value
No voice no voice
No laughter
No joy
You took them all
Like a thief in the night
Now I lie shaking
Waiting to see
What else has gone
Vanished without a trace
No word of warning
No second chance
I hear your footsteps
The whisper in the air
As you circle around my bed
What next?
What next will I awaken to find gone?
Like a thief in the night
You have taken it all
And I awake
Grieving for what is gone,
Frightened for tomorrows loss.
