Leaving
by Farrah Tate (Age: 30)
copyright 07-03-2001


Age Rating: 18 to 127

 
And now it's all gone
Packed up and shipped out
Leaving only my memories
Behind and deathly still
And now much too intact
In fact
It took me by surprise
To see you vanish my child-hood
In under several hours
Before my suddenly very adult eyes --
Wrapping up all the good times securely
And taping their caskets in place
Discarding the bad times,
Along with the last day's rubbish and waste.
The air was humid and oppressive that day
When you took it all away
And the water from my tears
Was uplifted on a lonely current of otherwise empty air
To follow my despair as we departed from my only known home,
While the precipitated salt
Fell defeated to the ground
As a tear imprint in time
A tiny mound so motionless and without sound
To join those (only just realised as) etched years before
And being driven away I suddenly knew
That some day there would be yet more.

So much sadness in this poem - reflective of a death of a parent; a major life transition; moving out of the family home onwards to adulthood. Well written.
