mother
by Blair Meeksi feel you sometimes
when the sunlight is thick
and the song is just right.
i see you everywhere
but i don't stop -
your memory enfolds me,
it is so heavy
with love.
i remember you
crying at night,
curled up,
hoping morning would
not come,
you always left,
only this time
you never returned
and i still wait,
recognizing you
in the mirror as i pass.
i may never know
whether you have left
this world
but i feel you
tonight
and i hope that somewhere
you feel me. 08/20/2012 Posted on 10/19/2012

| Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 10/19/12 at 05:15 AM I'm glad I came across this...great timing. I can so relate. Yesterday was the third anniversary of my own mother's passing. Great poem also. Thanks for putting my own feelings so aptly into words. |

| Posted by Alison McKenzie on 10/20/12 at 10:55 PM You've described the most difficult ending - one that doesn't have a conclusion, and having to go forward every day anyhow. Evoked such strong emotions in me, the way good poems really do. Welcome to Pathetic! |
