23- (Second version - First, never posted)
The Same
Take a moment
To breathe in the night.
Take a second to
See the streets.
I promise you
Will grow up
In a lighter place
Than I did.
I will fight for
Us.
I will make it all right.
It will be our despair
But our rights we will
Attain.
Walls of stones have made us strong.
You will bloom in the dark.
The memory of times
Gone by
Will remind us too late
That we should have
Fought long ago for it all,
Not just for parts of the same.
When your pillow takes your head,
You will hardly know this day.
You will think you had me one day,
But you won’t recognize my caress.
Like the sleeper of the valley,
I will rest by Mother Earth.
When you begin
To fall asleep,
There will be a moment
When you’ll twitch.
You will think it a dream
But it will be me,
Making you aware
That our lives did link.
Take care of her. She will need me.
Align your
words,
Think of a metaphor and
Write me a letter when you are old.
I will wait.
I’ll come back
From time to time to remind you of today.
In your dreams
You will see
How proud of me you should be.
The same. We will be same.
But not without long decades of
Hard games.
When you breathe deep,
Imagine that I am here.
Stretch your arms.
Lean back on the grass that I have
Seeded for you and think of me.
You will feel sad.
I already do.
If I come back, I will
Never read this to you.
I will enjoy every moment
That life will give us together.
I love you. I’ll see you in the
Morning light, where the
Fears await and where I
Can make things right.
