Grandfather's Poem
You walk lonely through the field of wheat
Up to the beckoning world of clouds and crystals
Leaving me on the tree
Hanging there free and empty
Like a pulled up dandelion
Or a sign hanging loosely from a single screw
I had just begun to know you
And what I thought would be forever
Was soon and swiftly severed
The times I remember oh so fondly
Are times I want to resurrect
Or just forget
But I can’t
My mind and body won’t allow it
And it’s not fair
That I have to go on without you
But it is a must
A requirement
That I wish with my full heart didn’t have to be so

I was inspired to write this because my Grandfather died a short time ago and I felt that by putting this on paper, I could get a better understanding of my feelings and possibly control my emotions a little bit better.
