If I could, write for you
A poem, so so deep
Where I drowned
In a sea of words
And all my emotions
Washed in waves
Of fresh
Beginnings
Saw a new future
On the crest of hope
And the past
Was a distant horizon
So far
Left behind
In the green
And bitter cold sea
Of envy

Tears flow onto my pen
And form a pool
Of remembrance
Of the life
The love
And memories
That drifted
Across many oceans
Of comforting warmth
Seducing me
To “Let go”
And live

If I could, turn back
The ever advancing tide
Of regret
That clings to me
Dragging me ever deeper
Where I continuously wallow
In the black whirlpool
Of self-pity
That foreboding
Dark place
Where history shows
It has claimed
So many
And released
So “Few”

If I could
If I could
For just one more day
Remember the love
Rediscover the passion
And
Relive the dream
Then I would gladly
Spend the rest of my days
Drowning, in a lake
I would name
“Humility”
