Original DDE™ surrealistic art: “Run Aground” by: rob kistner © 2/6/24
Memories of you
ripples on a dark lake
rise and roll away
into the sunset
toward that forever night
they carry my heavy heart
on their crest
and catch the tears
bittersweet tears
I cry at times
run aground
since you went away
times like now
your brother’s 46th birthday
my thoughts fall to you
would that my boat were here
my special boat
to ferry me
across this ocean of time
over that horizon of death
ferry me this day
to you
to see your face
once again
to hear your beautiful voice
rise in sweet song
would that I could hold you
this day
and tell you son
tell you the 10,000 things
I said far too seldom
when you were still here
in our lives
in my life
*
Unmoored shipwrecked soul
thunderstruck — weathered with grief
broken on the rocks
see there my ship approaches
soon now I will come aboard
