South of Sorrow <br />North North West of Pain <br /> <br />I search for you &... <br />...lose you yet again. <br /> <br />I calculate your absence <br />by the stars <br /> <br />& you are near <br />though you are far. <br /> <br />I wander through this Wilderness of Loss <br />...is this what loving you has cost? <br /> <br />East of Loneliness <br />West of Grief <br /> <br />...If only for one brief <br /> <br />... your voice echoes inside my head <br /> <br />... I see you smile & laugh <br /> <br />... pretend that you're not dead. <br /> <br />...pretend that you're not dead.<br /><br />Dónall Dempsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/no-directions-in-memory-of-my-mother-ita/
