AWAY IN BALTIMORE


Bleary images of my loved ones
Waving behind a film of tears
As they recede into the flowing crowd
Streaming away, away from me

I Chun- a friend, a wife and often more
Baby Audrey- a new being
Just setting off from shore
Now miles and miles away from Baltimore

I turned away, the strength to find
In the noble cause I stay behind
For all the blessings come to me
I must return, to humanity

So I move myself , trudge back to work
Even on weekends
though the loneliness bites
At times I meet a friend or two
And they help to put me right

You could say the saving grace
In my life alone was wrought
In the form of newfound friends
Whom I had never thought
Could be the torches to illuminate
the darker, rolling terrain of Life


GOOD WORDS

Bleary: hazy, blurry, unfocused

Recede: go back, retreat, ebb

Illuminate: light up

Terrain: landscape

Saving grace: fact or quality in a thing or a person or idea that enables us to take a positive view of it
