Today I needed peace, so I sought it.
When my twisted, tangled outcries for relief went unanswered
And my tear-soaked eyes were tired and I, nearly dehydrated
Fell to the bed and begged for mercy
My mind rehashed the painful events
And I shouted out
As loud as I could muster….
Why?
And I thought and rethought through all of the drama
The trials, the pain, the pain
The soreness was relived
Not relieved
And I asked myself
And even others
When will this pain stop….
And I heard no answers
So I am allowed to stumble about
In my desolation
I am allowed because I created it
In my mind
In my thoughts
In my deeds
I shouted out again
Where is peace
Where is serenity
Where is love
And this morning you answered
You said
It is everywhere
It is within you
It is around you
And once more I asked
But this time
I whispered
How do I attain it
And your voice was
As clear as a Saturday in the spring….
In the house in Heidenheimer
Widows open and the leaves rustling outside
…..and you said to me…
You go get it
So I did
I miss you everyday but you are always in my heart and I hear your voice when I listen.

So very very raw and tender yet strong and touching. You hit all the emotions. You also made me cry which isn't easy to do with poetry. I see your house, hear the music of the wheels on the tracks, the whistle, the birds and the laughter and love in your home. You have wonderful memories. You are blessed.
Thank you so much. That made me smile! I just love you!!!!
