IF I LOST

jayb_garang

If I lost my mother today,
My origin will be history,
I would have lost the only remaining trace of my existence,
My physics will be shuttered and left on autopilot,
Home will just be a painful geographical point in which I trace two rich mounds of the earth - my parents grave,
A place where untapped ideas, unconditional love, and maybe unachieved dreams lie.
The future will look bleak and I wouldn't hope much about it.
If my mother lost me today,
Her poor heart will have ached a tad too much,
Her voice will disappear for a few days just as it did when my Dad passed away,
I picture her staring at our grave and hot tears streaming down her cheeks,
She would have suffered a three generation grieving streak that I don't think she can recover from,
Having grieved her Dad, her husband and then her son,
Either way the consequence will be devastating.

    Either way it will be devastating. Nothing more that can be said. Extending empathy through words to you my friend.
