Whispers Of A Moment
You were here only a moment ago
Yet that moment has turned to years,
With scant fragments of your smile remaining.
The tears have disappeared but not the rain.
The sun shines and the grass grows and withers
As summer brings faint whispers of your love.
Perhaps it's as well, as this upside down world
Spins insanely to its unchartered destiny.
You are in a safer place now,
But what would you think, if you saw this world today?
For a moment in time, you did, and cried that night.
Yet, it was only a foretaste of that to come.
The world has changed in chaos and fear.
Yes, you are in a better place and protected.
But I still wonder sometimes...
Where have you gone, baby?
You were here only a moment ago.
For those who are now gone, it may be for the better.
Troy,
This poem is lovely. I consider it one of your best, and I'm pretty sure I know who the subject is.
Well done.
😄😇😉
