Poem Commentary

Dedicated to my loving daughter Vanessa A Knight. She is sorely missed.

December Mourning

So many days have gone …
So many nights have passed.
Seems I’ve lost track of time,
Somewhere on my life’s path.
One cold December mourning …
The pain blinded my sight.
It left me frozen and numb, 
And hating my so called life.
~ * ~ * ~ * ~
I’ve tried to find my way …
Searching for my way back.
Only to find myself,
On the wrong side of the tracks.
I’ve searched and searched again …
But, always to no avail.
Caught in a downward spiral,
Spinning off the rails.
~ * ~ * ~ * ~
My mind grew cold and dark …
And my heart was ripped away.
One cold December mourning,
I lie broken and decayed.
Tears of sorrow fell like rain …
With screams of anger ... cries of pain.
Never will I be the same,
Without you now ~ I must remain.
~ * ~ * ~ * ~
One cold December mourning …
Your life came screeching to a halt.
Without any sign or warning,
With no one to blame or fault.
For you my loving daughter …
I’ll try to live and remain strong.
For it’s your loving memory, 
That gives me strength to carry on.
~ * ~ * ~ * ~

Whoa~ Ken, not sure if any comment would be fitting enough really for such an expression so personable. But I will just say that, reading this right now, at this time, gives me reason to pause in my own life and reflect on things. Life's so fragile, I should do more to honor that fact...thanks bud, and beautiful poem.

It's a bitter sweet sounding poem. It reminds me of how I felt when I lost my mom.

Ohhh Ken, .I'm all choked up & filled w/tears ...darlin' this is deeply emotive.... I sooo wish I could offer you an embrace instead of words.... I kno' that no form of words will help ease the pain ...an embrace can only collect and connect one into your pain......may knowin' that you have a tribe of Friends near and far that carry you & your Darlin' Daughter in thoughts, Hearts and Prayers.bring some solace & Comfort..not fair , that this happened.... there is soooo much truth to your chosen words... ~ For it’s your loving memory, That gives me strength to carry on.~ Please accept Terry's and My deepest heartfelt condolences.. We Love You Ken!!! ((((((huggz))))))Tierra @}-'-,

The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.
