Emotional outbursts,
Tears flowing,
For no apparent reason
Feeling down,
...
How do you say I'm sorry
To someone you hardly know
Whose Words of compassion
Touched my very soul.
...
Time has come to say 'good-bye'
Time has come to move on
Time has come to let go
...
I had a dream about me
Which is very rare indeed
Sitting by water so blue
Yearning for a wish to come true
...
Everything coming to a head
Storm is strong, no end in sight
Sinking quickly
No where to turn,
...
The poet began writing in order to release the turmoil that she was facing dealing with her Depression. It was a means to come to grips with the issues in her life and to promote change about her. Her poetry is a spectrum from Love to the Darkness she feels she resides in.)
Saying Good-Bye To A Loved One
Emotional outbursts,
Tears flowing,
For no apparent reason
Feeling down,
Feeling sad,
There is no magical pill
Wanting to be alone,
Yet afraid to be
Wanting to hold on
To someone already gone
Day by day,
Step by step,
It will get easier
Loving family,
By blood and choice
Moral support
Shoulders to cry on,
Hugs freely given
Hands to hold on to,
So you can let go
Memories alive,
Memories stay
Good times and Bad,
Smiles and funny faces
Cakes of every flavor,
Fudge to kill for
Slow acceptance of change
Unnerving anger but always there,
No matter what
Time for rest,
Time for sleep
Long and fruitful life
Impacting peoples lives
Your work is done.
