Unsaid Things
I
never got the chance
to
tell you my future
plans
as you slipped
into
the shoes of your
eternal
dance,
Only fading memories
Only fading memories
remain
in this earthly
domain
you left
me
in,
Just another farewell
Just another farewell
in
the departure lounge hell
as they announce my
as they announce my
flight
with a final
echoing
knell,
A final forced wave
as I
disappear
behind
that dreaded
security
wall enclave,
Too young to realise
Too young to realise
your
final goodbye
as
you left mother
to
silently cry
hoping for one more
hoping for one more
trip
to Liberty Bay
to witness
to witness
dented
dreams
float
away,
I never got the chance
to
wish you well
as
you left for
foreign
shores
opening
dormant doors,
My memories now only
charred
scatterings
as I
wither away,
Eternally mourning
Eternally mourning
murmurings
of
unsaid things...
unsaid things...
Liberty Bay (Dogfish Bay, Poulsbo Bay)is a narrow inlet extending about 4 miles in a northerly direction from the northwest part of Port Orchard, adjacent to the Kitsap Peninsula. Poulsbo, Washington lies at its north end. Harry Drescott operated a bayshore in the 1860s that used dogfish oil to grease the logs for up lumber camp skid roads. In 1893 and 1899 the state legislature refused to change the bay's name, but "Liberty" was adopted through general usage.
