Ten YearsA Poem by Chloe..Across the Universe"From an image born"
The waves lap against the pier
wind blows cold from the north the white caps seem to spell out my name wind screaming it like a Banshee Every day for ten years I have come here on this very day, the day you died leaving me alone to survive in a world as cold and vast as this ocean I stand at the end of the pier staring into the oceans depth looking for a sign wondering if this will be the year I join you The sun is yawning rubbing sleep from his eyes the cold overcast sky begins to thaw the sun opens his sleepy eyes Seabirds circle round me as the ocean calms I know in my heart you don't want this you want me to stay here without you I want to dive into the ocean and let her hold me like a mother holds a broken child Child, ours as lost without you as I am my grief overwhelming consuming me my child living a nightmare of his own no help from me Selfish I have been thinking only of me The sun winks at me as the sea birds sing-song a mournful melody you within the wind caress me as I hear your voice I say as I walk back down the pier I know, not today not today © 2010 Chloe..Across the UniverseAuthor's Note
