Diana Gonzalez: Poem "Radiant Child"
Radiant Child by Diana Gonzalez
Radiant child, you
are and
in the
grass you
lie
peaceful
and I
watch videos of you
and
gaze at your artwork
radiant child, you
truly
inspire me
your
drawings and writings
I
am
in awe.
And actually,
I don't look up to too many people, so
really
that's saying a lot
and
for once in my life
when I saw your artwork
I felt
like I
could truly
call myself
the artist
that I feel myself to be
inside
i do.
your grave is here, where I roam
and call my home
I wonder what it would have been like
to have met you
to have spoken to you,
rest assured, I
probably would stutter
just a bit
and ramble
just a bit.
but I was just a child, when angels of death claimed you
and now I visit your grave, in some
lame attempt to be close
to who you are, to
know what you were like,
I
must suffice
with grave site visits and
gazing at your artwork
and I'll
never see a post card
the same way
again
Rest
in peace
Radiant Child.
