Living Life Again | A Poem by Linda Straub

Yesterday you walked ahead,
While I stayed, left behind
Holding on and letting go,
Caught behind the blurry lines.

Sitting out in the sunshine,
Remembering our former days,
Brilliant life and painful death
Leave me in a foggy haze.

Crying in the thunder,
standing in the rain,
picking up the pieces,
living life again.

Driving on the interstate,
Trying hard to keep the pace,
Far behind but catching up,
Never giving up the race

Now days are a brighter color,
Peace comes without any signs,
Looking ahead, no longer
Caught behind the blurry lines

Crying in the thunder,
standing in the rain,
picking up the pieces,
living life again.

Picking up the pieces,
Living life again.
