 Dream Catcher Poetry

BETWEEN LAUGHTER AND TEARS


              Nothing is lasting and time is passing,
              somewhere between laughter and tears.
              Anniversaries come, I wander, numb,
              as I traverse those long ago years.

              Earlier times, when life was sublime,
              moving along, blessing each day.
              I couldn't ask more, until deaths door,
              opened wide and took you away.

              Memories of that life, cut like a knife,
              for there is no way of returning.
              Only deep inside, do they reside,
              in retrospect, poignant and burning.

              Now left alone, in an empty home,
              life goes on and I must remain strong.
              My remaining years, between laughter and tears,
              will proceed, meeting each day headlong
