She Is Not Silly At All

How many do we really know
that will look you straight
to the heart of what matters?
Will tell you the way it is,
their reality awaiting sooner than
even they want to face.
Though I have held finality in my arms
I was not prepared to say, good bye.
My Hannah knew. She told him it was time.
But deep, deep inside of me,
even now, I convince myself,
he had left quite some time before.
Perhaps it was when his pain kept him out
away from us more times than I dare share.
Needless to say, I was not in the room with him.
I held on to the sweet incense of hopes eternal thought.
Maybe I buried it for a time
desiring to stay away from
such needless energy exhumed with the "why".
Today, I know someone is trying
to hold on to each fleeting breath.
She will not discuss the world politics,
is not excited by the latest recipe,
who will become the newest idol,
having joyed in the "firsts",
she is grasping the final.
she understands will be left
when she has to leave her son.
Wanting so badly to sooth his heart,
wishing she could have given him more.
How trite my concerns are.
