Distant Desperation For Greater Intervention

Distant Desperation For Greater Intervention

A Poem by Ama May Cooper

I miss you
Halfway across the world
slipping through the fragile cracks of existence
so far out of my reach 
I can feel you fading away 
feel our withering connection
A deep untouchable sleep I can't disturb
This possibility you'll never wake
This heart wrenching feeling ill never see you again
No more late night phone calls
A time difference morphing your days to my nights
Your lips permanentally sealed shut
words of wisdom locked away from eager ears
Such sudden degeneration 
And what if you return a stranger?
Our memories torn from your mind
My childhood affections scattered to the wind
My admiration for a sentimental farther figure
Merely bran cells damaged beyond repair
I spoke to you hours before
All smiles and false assurances
A joke of undiscovered injury's
A false sense of security to your uncertain survival
Wires and machines the only life left to a lifeless body
I plead with a god I don't believe in 
Begging consideration for your soul to remain
For some strained recognition
An un-predicted recovery 
Don't let the light go out just yet
I need you, I miss you, Halfway across the world

I'm reading two different type of loss here...the loss of the physical proximity and also the loss of life.
