    Poem Commentary

    "This Peom is based of Truth of inner peace and outer guilt! My mother passed away in 1986, and I loved her and do miss her! The guilt comes from rarely visiting her grave site. I could make up a thousand excuses but that doesnt make the feelings go away. All my life, too one extent or another I have Searched for primarly PEACE! It's a quest and a path I have only saw briefly or in momments of time. Peace is the one feeling I think that has too find YOU! It's taken me 42 years just too understand its not about chasing after it or aimlessly searching for it like an Easter Egg! Maybe, just someday it may find me!"   

    "The Peace of my Guilt"

    The Oldness of days gone by,
    a past withered by time.
    The new seems less,
    and still you hold on at best.

    As the seasons come & go!
    Your age shows,
    those scares that tell stories untold.

    Oh, my dear sweet mother 0f mine!
    The guilt always has time too fine,
    space too roam this heart of mine.
    Yes! I have weeped.
    I ask my God Oh why?
    I creep quietly as not to be seen.
    This is Gods house,
    and not even a mouse can be unseen!

    I will never forget!
    Guilt has away too pay a debt!
    Fear speaks and it holds me tight.
    Still I prey to be kept,
    In Peace!

    So, as I leave you too ponder!
    The heavens open in such wonder.
    Open your eyes and hear much thunder.
    Rest in Peace 
    My dear sweet Mother...

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
