Death Of A Girl Named Peace...

Grief
|
she was chipmunk pretty,
lily-blossom cute,
when I saw her that day,
the sunlight falling, falling
around her face,
dripping off of her hair,
and mixing with her aura,
gentle velvet-blue
she was beyond knowing,
deeper than my deepest dreams
of her, higher than
my highest hopes
later, after splashing like a seal
in the cool white waters,
she smiled at me,
her hair dripping wet, once again
and there was something
something
so nostalgic, so familiar about her,
about that moment
we danced together, in dizzy circles
on the tilt-a-whirl,
closer, closer,
never close enough
afraid of closeness,
more afraid to part
and that night,
back home again, in the city,
her eyes twinkled
with the star-drenched sky
so familiar, so deep,
her eyes
oh, peace! remember me
as I remember you
~*~ ~*~ ~*~
Your face, so lovely
Is covered now with cold earth,
Crumbled and scattered
Where you lie in perpetual slumber
-it your rest sweet,
Or a thing to be feared?
Is it sadness,
Is it angry-
Am I angry?
And why,
But if
But because you let go,
Because you left
When you had so much
Left to do...
...when I had so much
Left to tell you.
~*~ ~*~ ~*~
When you
when she walked
Down into the water,
There was a sadness, and a calm,
As she sank beneath the pounding waves,
Certain it was her destiny,
And she did not struggle,
Did not cry out
only a single tear trickled down her cheek
And I called out her name
Peace! Peace!
Soft blue, velvet Peace
but she could not,
Or would not
Turn around
only kept walking
Deeper into the sea
While I watched in anguish,
And wondered-knew
Why.
