This is my first post here and I gotta tell you I'm shaking. I never shared a poem that I've written with anyone other than my sister. I wrote this after 9-11. I'm sure it can use some cleaning -up. (I left the image with a haze- on purpose)
It seems impossible to imagine beauty in the world could exist
I know I've felt such beauty in the past but will it ever come back to me?
I don't know, as the days are empty and my heart is broken like never before.
His soul touches me and for a brief second I smile but it fades.
It seems impossible to imagine a world without him, though I know it exists.
I muddle through that world everyday. It's unbearable, although I know somehow the strength will come.
It has to.
And then almost without notice a light will flicker.
Perhaps it will never shine, but it will come.
And what we do with that light will be up to each of us.
Alone and with sadness we will wake to find the beauty in the world once again.
