bereaved Mother’s Day

Always Smiling

/ the proverbial phoenix / Leave a comment

Wouldn’t you know that the sun came up again, i guess it’s time to smile

Wouldn’t you know, you have many blessings ahead, I guess it’s time to smile

Look at how they gather, I guess it’s time to smile

Look at how they look at you, I guess it’s time to smile

Don’t you know how lovely the day is, I guess it’s time to smile

Don’t forget the love shared with them all, I guess it’s time to smile

Feel the sorrow on your own, gotta keep that smile

Feel the joy of those earth side, gotta keep that smile

Kept inside to only the few that know, all day long I smile

Kept away from the earthside world, all day long I smile

No one here did they know, how could they with the smile

No one should ever have to know, or save face behind the smile

Through my grasp it slips, the grip’s loosening over the gap of gasps as it becomes a familiar feeling, the reeling in of what’s real, what’s really happening, the fastening of the winds whipping the sounds of silence violently through my soul, now on the cusp of cold, screaming silently into a sound chamber where only I remember your name forever and when to honor… except for, I dismayed, could say nothing, except for the engrained tear exchange for the DNA’s reframe of the refrain through my brains terrain of dry docks and torrential rain.
