Seven Years Of Silence Poem by robert keaty

seven years of silence
drifting futher away

memories stagnate, a repeating loop
no new memories to grasp today
no new images, smiles or laughs
no hugs, looks or winks

just one moment new
to fill the heart with joy
a christmas present shared
the wishings of a boy

missing mom

seven years of silence
drifting further away

life and destiny
who's drifting?
her or me

seven years of silence
what more is there to say
