Second Dust

The darkness has come
Forever to stay you were
Right on the money and
Now I will pay. The love
Has run short and I
Do not know why. I love
Who he was but
Do not know who he is.
All I see now is
My beautiful son.
He is my world and
My life, everything
Else is just dust.
One day he will
Write his own poems
Of love and love lost
Angst and beauty
Combined into one.
I will love him
Forever although
He may never know
How deep my love flows
He will know he is loved
Because everything else
Is just
Dust.
