I have no words to introduce this entry...written in mid-February...
My Mom Has Cancer.
It's sinking in.
I sit
Holding my breath without meaning to,
Reflecting,
On nothing.
I don't know
How.
My heart
Is a little bit broken.
I stand and feel my feet on the floor.
Oh dear God, I love her so.
awww Roberta, this is so poignant. It makes me want to wrap my arms around both of you. Pure emotion produces the best poetry.
ReplyDeleteYou capture the feeling of that moment so well (been there, lived through that). A lovely poem. Poetry does sooth the heart...
ReplyDeleteHugs and prayers for you both. Numb shock conveyed in a way that makes me hold my breath as well.
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts and prayers are with you and your mom. That was a beautiful poem and you convey the emotions well.
ReplyDeleteLike Veronica I have been there and lived through that. You captured the feelings perfectly.
ReplyDeleteYour words captured the emotions masquerading as numbness. A big hug to you, and to your mom...
