Half listening to the radio <br />tonight in my solitude. <br />A song plays that I don't know. <br />the singer is unknown too. <br /> <br />The truth in the words, wise and strong. <br />Made me stop for a moment, <br />ache for a time, forgotten and gone. <br />emotions long ago lost, exhausted and spent. <br /> <br />For a moment I remembered an old heartbreak <br />The singer sang about being alone. <br />Beautiful words that made my heart ache. <br />Birthing, living and dying alone. <br /> <br />Struck like lightening reverberating, <br />in the grand canyon that once held my heart. <br />I am transported to a place where, <br />I have not forgotten you at all. <br /> <br />In order to live, I buried you. <br />Surrendered to life as it is. <br />Accepted reality and moved on, <br />until I hear a song like this. <br /> <br />2/5/06<br /><br />Emma Beverage<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/birthing-living-and-dying-alone/
