CAUTIOUS AWE (M.A.K.)

Folder: 
JOURNAL #20

like...........

a love letter without any

endearing words

a poem without its proper expression

a song without a memorable sound

a life without any fresh breath of air

or flowers to pick

or trees to climb

or dogs to love

where would I

where possibly could I be

a body without skin

a heart without blood

a thought without meaning

nor purpose of any kind

the earth without sun light

a marvelous being of pure light

'the soul'

without love

what an enormous sadness

that indeed would be

by now

Don't you understand

you

my irreplacable you

are everything to me

God himself surely would not

could not

forfeit such jealousy.............

(April 10, 1999)










Author's Notes/Comments: 

written while keenly feeling M.A.K.'s absence. then blessedly that same year in July he came back and we had from July until his death that November 23rd. to be close again. I always saw those last cherished months as a goodbye present for both of us from God.
