Tributary.
09.06.06 (12:20 pm)   [edit]

I whispered good-bye
as she walked through the door
past her dreams
to her silent sleep.
I called her name
But it had all been said
And she did not answer.

I sit on the riverbank
Dangling my feet
in swiftly moving currents
of accumulated tears
a tributary flowing from
all my worst fears.

dawn and midnight
hold hands
like red rover
They call out my name.
I run with determination
But can’t break through.

I will admit that it was...I am obviously not a poet-- but I'm glad you liked it. :)

The poem is lovely and so was Ali, truly.
I don't know what to say other than I am so sorry for your loss.
You've suffered the worst nightmare a parent can suffer.
With Love,
Doe

Thank you...on all counts. She was an amazing girl and I guess that is the purpose of this blog...to carry on her memory...however I am able. Thank you for your kindness and your comment. Glad you stopped by.

thank you...as I said, i'm obviously not a poet, but sometimes things just feel like they need to be let go of and written down...this was one of them. It was nice of you to comment.
