There Are Moments

by Idamarty

There are moments when your memory
comes to me in waves of anguish,
washing over me, drenching me
with loneliness and loss

There are moments when I swear I see you
and I turn hopeful, desperate eyes,
but then I know it can't be you,
you went home, five years ago

There are moments when I am filled
with the deepest of regrets at not
being there when you left this world,
leaving me here, bereft

There are moments when I would give
anything to speak to you once more,
to hear your laugh, to hold you close,
to say, ``I love you mom.``

These moments come and go like the tides,
bringing surges of heart wrenching emotion,
then ebbing, as my tears are released,
and I try to go on, missing you
