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.

Dance

Tip toed to the music..
She danced.
Jumped up high..
For a minute she could fly.
Muffled were her hair hiding those tears..
As the crowd cheers.
She gives them a smooth swerve..
Slapped with pain holding to her very nerve.
The curve the poise..
Covering up every noise.
Then the curtains go down..
She ends with a bow.
As she hurries to her sacred town.
