[bodytext] => It's been quiet around here Since you've been gone, Perhaps I will fare well Without all the distraction Of love's commotion, I have enough to do - A pile of unopened mail To sift through, That perennial stack of books I move from here to there, I vow someday to read. I sleep a lot, for now, Those days that drag on forever - There's a calm in this place Without your presence, But not the expected peace To go with it. My mother had a picture She kept on the wall for years, As long as I can remember, A bowl of fruit, With some pottery nearby, It was small, an ordinary print, I wondered for years Why she kept it. You never said you loved me, I know, I want to believe, In the unseen, the unknown, In angels with mercy. I need to believe. Where I live, there is a plant On the window ledge, I've had it a long time, It has gone along with me Everywhere I've been, Misshapen, and needs tending to, It's nothing special, a common kind, But it still grows Wherever I decide to let it be. It has its place.
