Still... by Gregory Oregon Even now when I lay on my left I feel as if I turn away from You. So out of comfort or maybe for Hope's sake I quickly turn to my right For as long as I can remember up until the moment we met I use to fall asleep all the time on my left Then You arrived and so did our sleeping arrangements which changed the direction I was use to facing. Unto the east my eyes stared into the horizon and as You awoke every morning beside me I never once missed the Sun’s rising For 2 years and some change I saw the Sun rise every day and when I went to bed never once did I ever see my Sun set You laid there beside me unwavering held still in golden perfection You warmed me through the bitter New England winter and though the world around me as I knew of it froze and felt the sting of each season passing there I lay suspended in an endless Spring I still lay on my right but only now there where my Sun use to shine lay an absence of my Star’s light fearful I sometimes awake at night afraid that I, maybe am laying on the wrong side and have turned away from my Love have I somehow through the night turned to my left, faced the west now my gaze my eyes are fixed upon a world where my sun has set Hope carries me through this seemingly eternal night and so because of Hope that this Love of mine keeps lit I still lay on my right and pray that one of these nights when I open my eyes I will once again awake to my Sun’s rise. 02/24/2008 Author's Note: que es estes mundo sin usted te quiero siempre Posted on 02/25/2008 Copyright © 2025 Gregory Oregon Member Comments on this Poem Posted by Nanette Bellman on 02/25/08 at 10:14 PM I really like how you feel like the way you lay and have laid has maybe made the path your life is going. Atleast, that's my interpretation of it. Great read.
