Busy trying to keep-- <br />My mind going... <br />To hide your absence... <br />I pick stars from-- <br />The sky-- <br />To wish upon; <br />However, never one <br />To delude myself... <br />I cover up with- <br />A heavy dose- <br />Of reality; <br />Mind you- <br />Its much - <br />Stronger- <br />Then mere stardust; <br />It will not allow... <br />For more than- <br />Just wishful- <br />Thinking; <br />For it is the <br />Absolute of Fate... <br />The root of- <br />Divine Providence- <br />That decides things; <br />That makes- <br />Or breaks- <br />A heart; <br />That makes-- <br />Dreams come true... <br />Or cancels them out- <br />Rather like a -- <br />Super Nova- <br />Oh so bright... <br />For just that long...! <br />And then it burns itself... <br />Out and is forever gone! ! ! ; <br /> <br /> <br />The Essence <br />September 4,2010<br /><br />Theodora (Theo) Onken<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/absence-71/
