Perfect Poet Award awarded by Promising Poets Poetry Cafe
Im sitting by this cafe
the wind ripples the lake
Its been 5 years today
now but a record to break
My eyes water as I wander
10000 miles away
What would you be doing?
I only reach halfway.
You forgot what happened today
5 years ago on that beach
3 months of abstractions
now remembrance out of reach
Things are relative I guess
today is special to me
Filled with saddness inside
to think of this cafe
this feeling of importance
that today should not be undone
no matter where we are
no matter what has gone.
Up rises a realization
that even love moves on
And I must move on with it
beyond here, a relief in a way
I too am free to go now
where to, time will say.
I overcame the fear
I feel fuller than before
Full enough to allow
this sadness in my core
the memories to ache
the hurt to mold my soul
Full enough to allow
inner growth to be my goal
The truth must with me stay
even on the hardest day
and although my heart still weeps
I see happiness back creeps
I see life in this way
is a bucket full of holes
that nothing out of seeps
