I Live

These days,

I live

again.

Don't think I have forgotten you,

my thoughts find you in the

alleyways of my mind. 

Early dawn,

the house is dark and quiet

I awaken thinking of you.

Fragments of dreams,

I search through mingled trees

and dark forests.

I search for you.

These days,

I laugh

something I have forgotten to do.

I catch a glimpse of my old self,

the sadness melting from my eyes.

I remember the passion you had 

for life.

I remember lessons taught by example.

Yesterday I was but a shadow of myself,

today I step into my body

and reclaim my soul.

I heal my broken stems,

grow new leaves.

I walk among the starfish,

I skip among the stars.

I fly

because you taught me that I can.

I fly

because one day we will meet again.

These days,

I live again.

Don't think I have forgotten.

Dedicated to my parents. I miss them so much but finally I feel like I can live again without sadness being my constant companion. Meet us here, http://dversepoets.com/ where we share our thoughts and our hearts.
