Poems
Jun 2014
I Was There
I was there when
He first saw fragments of dust
In the light of dawn and
Laughed loud in wonder
When he pointed to the stars
With questions in his eyes
I was there and
I provided the answers
As he marched towards
That fallen tree, there
My footprints were engraved
In dirt before his own
In the sounds he touched and
In the smells he savored
I was there and I promised
To always remain
When he discovered a remote heart,
Attached it to his own and
Built a wall of bricks aboveβ
I was not there
In the darkness he glowered
At seeing nothing, cried
And I heard him ponder why
I no longer remained
