My heart sank,
I didn’t know what to think.
Sitting all alone,
With chill about my bones.
Thinking how cruel this world can seem,
Wondering how such a horrid thing could ever be.
Remembering hopes and dreams that will never cease,
Of the person I so longed to see.
Feeling helpless and praying at length,
For friends and family to gather strength.
For they to have lost a piece,
That words and touches can not ease.
Now for a moment we must pause our lives,
Looking to the sky not long enough to appreciate her eyes.
Pondering what life is and wanting to shout,
Forgetting all the world’s problems and daily clout.
Realizing a wonderful life has been stopped incomplete,
Of a woman we again one day will meet.
She’s in a place more elegant than we,
Only now through memories,
We feel the presence she brings.
About ABSTRACT KING
I'm originally from a small town in Central Texas, Lampasas. In the early stages writing was often spurred by some emotional event. What is currently on the Abstract King website is "the tip of the iceberg" so to speak. A pile of indecipherable hand written journals, thousands of photos, and hundreds of hours of video have sat collecting dust in storage over the years. Wondering about the effects fire, flood, or death would have on this massive amount of "me", drove me to create something more permanent. So, I began digitizing all the written words, editing, and sharing pieces with friends. The site is an extension of the positive feedback and intrinsic value I have received since. For the sake of creation, I put it out there for you. If you have an emotional response along the paths in my kingdom, then that's a bonus!
