This is an entry for "The Writer's Cramp" . This is the prompt: Write a story 1000 words or less or a poem 40 lines or less about a character who is having difficulty communicating with family and friends.
Holding on to what is real
is hard to comprehend
sometimes I see my mother's face
as she was near the end
Reassuring are their words
that don't quite fit this stance
There's music that they just can't hear
As I alone must dance
Feeling lost among the brilliant clouds
I grasp for handle bars
My friends and family carry on
I'll graze among the stars
They'll tell themselves it's for the best,
they tried their best to listen
My hide is moist with sudden fear
I want heaven to shine and glisten
And so, I say a fond farewell
To those that I have loved
I'll find a way to send a missive
as I soar with the mourning doves
