MIDNIGHT BLUE
Cost of attachment
Born each day
A rising sun
A missing lady
Gone to the wilderness
Where the body can’t follow
A restless soul left behind
Watching meteors split
And stars collide
So far up in nighttime sky
They burst, I am sure
But I can’t hear them cry
Like tears that fall
With no audible sigh
Somehow part of nature anyhow
Like the way we all wonder why
When love is swept away
And yet there you are
Unable to see your smile returned
No echo of “I love you”
As you head out the door
No waiting beauty to welcome you home
And yet there is no benefit in anger
No pay-day for remorse
Just aftershocks
Which come and go anyway
Resentment or not
Mercy must come to those who endure
Feeling they must have another duty ahead.
Perhaps needed again.
Perhaps a seemingly familiar smile
Will meet those midnight blue irises
