Histories Mystery
Lost in the past a life known to few covered by new souls who did not know their true roles
She never made a plan blind to a future she could not scan, ways of life not always pastel and paisley
Was her howl the only one that day, how much the cost for penance paid, SIDS or SUDEP still unknown acronyms
Was it the sandman or monster under the bed, was left as mystery to me, secret family history
Did her last caress fade to black, soul left in silence, hidden grief no relief, left alone blind to life's challenges
After the Four Horsemen deliver their message nothing else matters, angel of death laughing at her misery
Secret soul like a fly on a wall but a White elephant in the room no one spoke of those unseen, left to ponder if Mom ever wondered about the lost narratives
I was told to LIVE for today, You're living your some-days today and tomorrow, left alone with no memory does not define synergy
Left in the dark, No new light of that night, Mangled memory did she always feel Unforgiven? Mom's secret left without answers
Alone we were left to Ride The Lightening, full of energy and unique but always that internal mystique, Her actions mercy left as fodder for the antagonists
She never came clean of what was seen leaving a lifelong question but there would be no ME without Rick Lee.

Was from a prompt about Metallica songs! The song "Enter Sandman was about infant death or SIDS ! I was named for a brother that only lived to 6 Mo's and no one ever talked about it,so was always that "that thing" ,always felt my Mom was left alone with this. Thanks for reading your thoughts are helpful "Peace Takes Practice" Rick
