A poem I had put in my LJ that I made last year. Except I've re-written the poem.
This is dedicated to Aaron.
Happy Mother's Day.
There is
no light
Across the bay
It's dark all around
But that's
okay.
The bay is silent
And I
break the peace
The water rippled
As the engine increased.
I
can't see anything
So what
should I do?
I'll try to be quick
Till I get through.
And
then right ahead
I see a light
It came
from no where
And it's
really bright…
There's no way around
No time to wait
No way to
get out
I've realized too late.
We meet
each other
And the crash is loud
But I can't remember
Hearing
the sound.
I notice it's dark again
Just like
before
I think
that I'm moving…
But I'm not too sure.
For some
reason
I'm dragged away
Further along
Through the
bay.
I'm getting hot now
I'm dirty and it smells
I
hate this a lot
It feels
I'm in hell.
Six
suns have risen
Six moons have, too
The day's just begun
It's
nice to see blue.
I suddenly wonder
What I'm
doing out here
I hear
people calling
I think my
family's near.
The sound
fades out
So I just
shrug
What's with all
These
freaky as bugs?
I see green up ahead
It's pretty clean,
too
So I stop there and wait
It was too
good to be true.
The
reeds were all slimy
I guess I was wrong
I don't mind though,
coz
I've stopped moving along.
Claws,
acting like vines
Creep out to me
I don't realize what it
is
Since I cannot see.
It pulls me away
From my comfort
zone
My frown
turns to a smile
I'm not alone.
I see
they are strangers
But I
don't care
They were the people
Who got me out of
there.
"Tell the family,"
I heard one say
I suddenly
beam
Coz I'm
going home today.
I've
missed my Mum
My Brother
and Dad
But when I
get home
They're all looking sad.
I'm shooting off
questions
But they
just ignore
I'm
getting worried now…
What's Mum crying for?
I'd hate
to admit it
But I'm kinda scared
I'm not
a guy
Who's emotionally prepared.
I wanna hug her
But my
arms feel dead
Then I blanch at what
My father just said.
No…
I say
Don't tell me that's true
I'm standing right
here
What's wrong with you?!
But before too
long
We're all gathered here
Everyone
sheds
At least one tear.
Inside
a box
That's
where you stare
I'm right beside you, though
I can't be in
there.
You just can't see me…
But… I
see you
I'm scared, coz I'm fading
And I know
that it's true.
All I can think is
I wish I had time
Time with
the family
Then, I'd be fine.
On Mum's shoulder
Lay's my
fading hand
"I'm sorry to leave you.
But I hope you
understand."
As much as I try
I can't stop your
tears
But things will be all right
Over the
next few years.
So,
don't worry Mum
Daniel, and Dad
I love you
a lot
And I
don't want you's sad.
I want
you's to know
That I'll be all right
I'll be your
personal Angel
And you'll
never leave my sight.
I'll
watch over you all
Till we meet again
I'll be
waiting by the Gates
Right here, in Heaven.
Rest in peace - May 8th 2004
Written on May 8th – May 12th 2005.
Just in case you were wondering, my friend was in a boating accident and wasn't found until 6 days later. I tried to write a poem through Aaron's perspective.
