Yearning
Yearning touches bruises
Turning them into scars
Self medication heals
Scratching loss into innards
Severance relieves pain
Breaking essential ties
Balm permeates a calm
Wrapping itself into hurt
Tears formalize mourning
Pearlizing as they shed
Pause allows a remembrance
Relieving the chatter
Medication delivers kindness
Measuring loss in caplets
Yearning for you
The void of your absence
Ensures a daily grounding
Into existence on your behalf
Sorrow brings a nutty obstinacy
To life & extracts a fullness
Creates a remembrance canvas
Yearning is hard work
Because it keeps you near
Rooting both me and you
In the truth of departure
the stillness of presence
and a nagging, ache that
whispers of the dawn
Meditation is the medication which provides a healing touch and kindness to that lasting
Yearning for the departed.and then thvTruth
dawns upon you that eveything in this life is ephermal.Realization of this Truth is the Balm
VERY WELL Written the poet has kept the Caption of the poem throughout
Proud of you
Papa
