Stories of Discarded Ambitions

A Poem by Janet Potts

She pl

         aces her h-a-n-d-s

on me and e

                      r

                          a

                               s

                                       e

                                                 s

her mind. I REach my a   r   m   s

o    u    t and hold her body

cl

    ose. She WANTED to

l

   o

      o  

          s

             e herSELF, and I

compLIED. She R-E-a-c-h-e-s

TO the SKY,         ing

                     elate

every hope she has. The

   sun

no LONGer matters. All that

          is HER and I. She wants

exists

to BE some

                  thing other than

NO

      thing. My a   r   m   s   hOLD

her  form as THE moon be

    gins

to  s      e. We are both HERE for

       mil

this ONE mo-ment. She

smiles like YOU n

                              e

                                v

                                   e

                                       r

EXISTed and moves

           r. She GAVE every

        e                               thing

      h

    g

  i

h

to s-t-A-N-D in me one

                                      last

       time.

YOUR words will not ent

    er

her mind. I c          e  her in my

                     r      l

                       ad

ha-rsh a   r   m   s and feel her

HEART

              beat, heal

                               ing with every

bRUSH of my wind. She

c

   ome

          s to me when

she needs TO be save

                                     d. I

exist

         for

                her.
