Too Deep............

For my Mommy.....

 

I’m sick of being “deep”! 

 

Sometimes I just wanna soak in the shallow end of things.

 

War…………………….deep.

Cancer………………....deep.

Broken heart…………...deep.

Mommy’s death………..deep.

Lonely…………………..deep.

 

Sometimes I just wanna hang out and not think.  Not feel.

 

Things are just too deep. 

 

I’m sinking in the deep.

Author's Note

My mom passed away after a short, unexpected September 28, 2011. I was by her side with my sisters, aunt and her best friend as she took her last breath. I know God is keeping me...but I'm still lost. One Christmas, my mom painted a Georgia O'Keeffe painting for me and my sisters. The picture is a copy the one she painted for me called The Journey. It hangs above my bed. I miss you, Mommy!
