A Grieving Traveler

I sat in a train again Without you... I sat with pain again Without you.. I wish you were there I wish to get back your stare I wish to share some words How I wished to look out of the window the same way as yesterday.. This journey that I start again Without you... This journey that I pause more often Without you... As there is no one to put a hand on My shoulder of disdain.. As there is no one to just make a  Harmless gesture of being insane.. How I wished to sip that cup of tea with a relentless life beyond the sea waiting to be free.. *Dedicated to my mom as she shares her feeling of loneliness after my dad passed away last year. They both used to love traveling together... * picture courtesy the author while she captures this on her train ride to  Carlisle, PA.

You Do

I always thought..
You cannot forget someone.
Who gets trapped as a known one.
But one day when they suddenly leave you do..
I always thought..
Tears just result in meltdown.
After which comes endless frown.
But once gone after which they stitch a redo you do..
I always thought..
You can never get up after a slippery fall..
With bruises all over.
But if you are in charge of the little sapling clutched in your arm you do..
I always thought..
Scars leave a mark.
For a lifetime embark.
But if you have the edge to shed out the old skin you do..
I always thought..
Fate is a mishap.
That only you can overlap.
And if you do it reveals what you really are..
