still life

I am drawn
To the drops
The waterfalls
The cocophony of
Reverberations
As water
Hits rock
Hits water
Hits rock

Don’t stop

Fill
The air
With movement
Joy
So I can sit here
Still
And grieve
My
Boy

Still reeling
From two years ago
Still feeling
The pull
Of a world
Of possibilities
That left me
Even though
I would gather energy
Expend
All of me
To bring it back

But no
This world
Is bigger than me
And what will be
Will be

This doesn’t just happen to me
This is universal
Loss is the guarantee
With love
And emptiness
Is all we see
Without love

So
What will it be?
Retreat from the world
A frightened
Angry beast
Or come out
Feathers in full time plume
Love
Anger
Agony
In full bloom
Churning
Rock
And wood
And death
And decay
Into fertile soil
To bring
Love
And life
In another form
Forth
To light up
Another day
