TodayA Poem by Tara

Today
Today I replaced every white light bulb in my home with a colored one. I felt the need for warmth. Today I opened every window in my home. I felt the need for cold crisp air. Today I watched every comedic film I own. I felt the need for a stream of tears. Today I painted poetic verses on my bedroom walls. I felt the need for inspiration. Tomorrow I will hug the gravestone of my father. I will read him my poetry. I will tell him goodbye Like I do every year at this time. It is my annual redemption For not saying goodbye When I had the chance. Tomorrow I will shed tears And hope they will cleanse the regret For another year. © 2009 TaraFeatured Review
