Grains of Sand
A Poem of Loss and Longing
Your lives slip through my trembling fingers
like grains of sand
leaving me alone in the prairie of desertion
where arctic winds howl an aggrieved discontent
over the empty land
of my haunted soul.
Tear-blind eyes seek you
wondering at this cruel game of now I see you, now you're gone
that takes you so far away
to places I must not go.
Will you be there
at games end.. found at last?
When finally your hiding place is revealed?
Smiles filled with the love
death so cruelly snatched away
leaving the one who loves you all ,
alone…
seeking always for home
