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.

Rainy Day

Walking back..
On a rainy day..
My coat drenched..
In running water.
Unknowingly splashed laughter..
Are my shoes on the puddle.
A puppy tried to cuddle..
Held my umbrella avoided the muddle.
Gladly acknowledging..
As I smudged right next to her.
My eyes ran into..
Colorful petals left off by the peddler..
Made me think will they ever wish to be a flower again..
Cause with glory comes bitterness and pain.
A knocked out homeless..
Is glad that showers are harmless.
But food will be sparse..
As forbidden becomes wasted morsel.
There’s a girl who sits down pale..
Waiting is difficult..
But endless defeat meets the cult.
Piping hot coffee..
As dancing the smokes fly..
A cookie breaks into two..
And I share it with you.
Nodding in agreement is kindness..
Whimpering sits the penniless..
How I wish to break through !
