For One Who Has Gone Away
by
Dina Dinsmoor
Carefully a line drawn
between what’s gone and what went on
Does she stop to worry
does she stop or just go on
being
as it is
as things are
she is leaving
Memories they linger here
Some are clear they linger on
she paints a portrait
of the girl that she once was
looking
as it is
as things were
she is leaving
There is a boat she must catch
we will miss her when she leaves
all that we can hope for
is to sail on calmer seas
seeing
how it is
she is here
she is leaving
