Sitting at the edge of a continent
The horizon never ending
Waves wash steadily in and out
Tide rising and falling
Cold murky water saturated in salt
One can taste
Leaving gentle sticky residue on ones hair and skin
A gentle reminder of where they have been
A great ball of warmth
Rising over a sweet chilly morning dew
The songs chirped merrily among the trees
Gentle reminders
Gentle reality
That of a well made counterfeit token
Cashed in for contentment
When only you know it was a dishonest purchase
Night falls and the stars begin to twinkle
Oh how I wonder what you are
An uneasy peace
I am comforted by the never-ending of nothing
I prayed and received no answer
I believed in faith
But received no recognition
An empty sky is all I am left to look up to
Amongst a bustling city
Full of life and prosperity
A room full of joyous loved ones
On ever so celebrated occasions
I sit, Smile, Nod
Produce all the right answers
To all their ever so wrong questions
My sadness is discomforting
Although barely detectable
As the waves continue to crash
Forever eroding away the helpless shoreline
The sun rises
Just to fall before the day is done
Stars shine brightly
Only to be masked by city lights or dreary rain clouds
Day comes after day
Loved ones try to forget
My sweet child
I don't know where you are
I don't know when we will meet
But mommy is here
My grief is too painful still
I am not sure sometime how to go on
Your life was not lived
Your soul was not ready
Children are not ours to possess
Their souls are lent to us for safekeeping
Then, someday
The earth reclaims them
To start a new
I don't know why you weren't ready
Perhaps neither we're we
Someday, somewhere, we will meet again
Until then… Kai…
I will remember you in the ocean
Flowing gently and briefly into my life
I will remember you in the sun
Lighting our tears with the morning dew
I will remember you in the stars
Keeping me company through the darkness
I will remember you in a crowded room
So that your memory will live forever
