The Harbour Lights
As she laid there groggy from anesthetics, I sung the same song that always brought a smile to her face. She never looked as if she was hearing it then but days afterwards she told me she did and thanked me. I never like feeling helpless and watching her there, I didn’t know what to do. Last night a friend told me that my words brought her much solace at a time when she most needed them and that sometimes it’s good enough to do the smaller things in life like singing a calming song or writing a memorable poem. This poem I hope is memorable of a beautiful friendship

The Harbour Lights The harbour lights did shine the moon was in its half How enchanting to remember your provocative laugh Echoing through the night continuously Howling in the wind with exotic gaiety And something special became very clear Recalling everything I realize what we used to share But sadly it’s all lost, scattered astray Out in the wind it has been blown away Unreachable although lurking in my memory Right when there is a special anniversary Life never warned me that you’ll be gone I had no suspicions that you weren’t the one Genuine love you’d always given to me How then am I now asked to pretend it wasn’t to be This life doesn’t spare me from its loveless pain So I’ll sit daydreaming it was like it used to be again |
