Griefs and Sorrows

Written February 1,2002.

I think about all these things and nothing comes to mind,
except for all the sorrows I tried to leave behind.

I grief and wonder and all that seems to find my mind,
are all the griefs and sorrows I tried to leave behind.

I can't seem to grow fonder of the apple on the tree.
I can't seem to turn around and face what is meant to be.

Instead I face what I do not wish to know or be.
If only I could turn around and face what is meant to be.
