Miracle

There were days when I had you.                       
There have been so many when I hadn't.               

This unique day                                             
has a special place                                        
in the desolate chamber                                    
of my memories                                            
where I had you and also didn't.                        

On that day
a huge erosion took place
creating an enormous gorge
in the path of my life...
I made attempts to jump across
but the next hill
was too far
too difficult to reach
and all my efforts to cross have failed
and now I sit
at the edge of this cliff
and look back at the time
when this gorge wasn't there  
when the path was clear...

Sitting here, sometimes
I also appreciate
the depth of this gorge
the escarpment
and the greens
that have come up on it

But I sit here
awaiting a miracle...
