Facing a Future
By Tilly K
Lost, gone, forever alone
once a magnet now a memory
every night it spoke
whispering
every morning it silenced
alone once more
my memory stretches as far as my ongoing imagination
always with me, never apart
giving love from its nurturing grassy pallet
providing a blanketing feeling
but now unaccompanied sorrow shadows me
reminding me of stories from the past
facing a future without it has just begun.
