Long awaited drop
falls from the limb
I watch
all I want to do is cry
***
weak arms
cannot stretch
the distance
that one drop can fall
***
frantic appeal
into darkness’ night
impotent to aid
the one I love
***
“why” I beg
when others needed aid
I was there
but not for her
***
Place a shield
around her now
dawn will come
filled with light’s warmth
***
give her strength
draw away the pain
feed her need
blot out her …

I wondr what it is about us…that we cannot accept the limits of our own being…we sometimes cannot be everywhere we should be nor do everything we wish to..enjoyed reading your poem this Monday afternoon.
