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.

Future

You can very well..
Be a queen.
But try following the unseen.
You can very well..
Dance in sync..
But try reverting steps while you think.
You can very well..
Conquer it all.
But still a pile of questions stand tall.
You can very well..
Force happiness.
But try finding the fearless.
You can very well..
Promise freedom..
But try changing what they have become.
Don’t you mock yourself..
Behind the walking shelf.
Bring down the guards..
Throw the pointing darts.
And close out the thoughts..
That refuse depart.
You can very well..
Make them stand for you.
But the difference is when they sing
For you with all their heart.
Become their word to win their start..
Become their chord to ink their art..
Become their bird that flew higher …
Become their eyes that never got drier..
A heart wrenching cheer..
A commemorating prayer..
Embrace as it becomes..
The Future.
