The Walk

Your life now taken.  I could not save you.    I tried. The harder I fought              the more they tugged, pulling you deeper                 into that pit of death. I am finding it hard                  to turn my spirit  from the path       I could not follow. Yet, I know this is your walk. The scars                                      of suffering, etched deeply                                       in my mind,  refuse to heal                                    and let you go. I must, somehow. Your body is here                                in a sealed coffin waiting to be placed         six foot under. My mind must let you go before then. ©  4/19/2000   Donna Friedrichs
