One Of Your
Smiles
Far away in the
recess of my mind I hear your call –
Like a timid
creature I have hidden away from you;
I am not strong
now but weak – have no confidence at all –
My support has
collapsed and there is no back-up in lieu;
I am so far
withdrawn the way back seems so far away –
So far indeed I
know not whether I can stay the course;
A small strand
of light connects the dark to the break of day –
I grasp it and
begin to pull but the life-line is coarse;
My hands begin
to bleed and my resolve is now tested –
It is hard but
your voice becomes clearer – becomes stronger;
I must do this
for in my life my interest is vested –
To be so far
away is wrong – I want this no longer;
I fixate on your
voice and pull in those days and those miles –
I hasten to you
and seek your laughter – one of your smiles...
