    Poem Commentary

    Dedicated to my loving daughter Vanessa A Knight. She is sorely missed.

    December Mourning
    So many days have gone …
    So many nights have passed.
    Seems I’ve lost track of time,
    Somewhere on my life’s path.
    One cold December mourning …
    The pain blinded my sight.
    It left me frozen and numb, 
    And hating my so called life.
    ~ * ~ * ~ * ~
    I’ve tried to find my way …
    Searching for my way back.
    Only to find myself,
    On the wrong side of the tracks.
    I’ve searched and searched again …
    But, always to no avail.
    Caught in a downward spiral,
    Spinning off the rails.
    ~ * ~ * ~ * ~
    My mind grew cold and dark …
    And my heart was ripped away.
    One cold December mourning,
    I lie broken and decayed.
    Tears of sorrow fell like rain …
    With screams of anger ... cries of pain.
    Never will I be the same,
    Without you now ~ I must remain.
    ~ * ~ * ~ * ~
    One cold December mourning …
    Your life came screeching to a halt.
    Without any sign or warning,
    With no one to blame or fault.
    For you my loving daughter …
    I’ll try to live and remain strong.
    For it’s your loving memory, 
    That gives me strength to carry on.
    ~ * ~ * ~ * ~

    Whoa~ Ken, not sure if any comment would be fitting enough really for such an expression so personable. But I will just say that, reading this right now, at this time, gives me reason to pause in my own life and reflect on things. Life's so fragile, I should do more to honor that fact...thanks bud, and beautiful poem.

    It's a bitter sweet sounding poem. It reminds me of how I felt when I lost my mom.

    Ohhh Ken, .I'm all choked up & filled w/tears ...darlin' this is deeply emotive.... I sooo wish I could offer you an embrace instead of words.... I kno' that no form of words will help ease the pain ...an embrace can only collect and connect one into your pain......may knowin' that you have a tribe of Friends near and far that carry you & your Darlin' Daughter in thoughts, Hearts and Prayers.bring some solace & Comfort..not fair , that this happened.... there is soooo much truth to your chosen words... ~ For it’s your loving memory, That gives me strength to carry on.~ Please accept Terry's and My deepest heartfelt condolences.. We Love You Ken!!! ((((((huggz))))))Tierra @}-'-,

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
