stories left untold and songs left unsung,
i am a shattering of desperate hope
and open doors to empty rooms,
filled with the aching echoes of "could have been" and "once was, but no more."
songs left unsung and paths left unwalked,
i am an eroding of painful thoughts
and tattered maps to buried treasure,
left by the ghosts of who we were and locked with no key.
paths left unwalked and words left unsaid,
i am a crumbling of fragile trust
and iron promises on shifting ground,
cracked at the foundations and rusted away.
words left unsaid and moments left unlived,
i am an unraveling of piled regrets
and transient memories of my loves,
faded to blank and shrouded in fog.
moments left unlived and stories left untold,
songs left unsung and paths left unwalked,
and words left unsaid leave me speechless.
i am a tapestry of everyone i have ever loved,
and though the loom may sit idle
the shuttle remains ready
to unite warp and weft, should the weaver return again.
Never give up on a dream just because of the time it will take to accomplish it. The time will pass anyway.
~ Earle Nightingale
It feels scary because it's unfamiliar, not because I'm incapable.
Do you have any idea of how hard it is
to be a poet so frequently speechless?
That isn't to mean I have nothing to say
but all translation is imperfect
and all memory is memory.
For now until next time
I know the knowledge that I have held you in my arms through the night
and slept peacefully for the first time in months
will not be enough to keep your belly full
but I hope that the way that the hunger has a shape
is proof that I look forward to feeding you again.
~ Laika
