Raising the Dead


A Poem by Paul Pruett
"
Sometimes there is a connection with someone. Call it psychic, if you will. Then it is gone and then sometimes, just sometimes, she thinks of you again. And, oh, how it hurts.
"

 

 
Your fingers brushed my soul again.
Here in the quiet roar of my room, I felt you.
Why?
What is there to gain by you thinking of me?
Nothing.
My over-dried soul cried out, rolling over once again to dust.
A drop of moisture on an arid plain of sadness.
There was no doubt, I felt you.
I could sense the remembrance of what we were.
How much love we lost.
How many tears I cried.
Did you?
I have never known.
You departed so fast.
Never fully have I grieved.
What was there to gain?
Your fingers brushed my soul again.
My dead heart ached anew.
..and then you were gone.
