Laura
by Tamara


In the beginning
they were created equal
two halves of a whole
or so they say.
Then the two became as one

Where's Laura?
With him, came the reply.

As the years moved on
their lives intertwined
From there union formed
another, and then one more
A life complete; a family.

Where's Laura?
With them, came the reply.

Tucking them in; a nightly read
just one of many routines
Wide-eyed with wonder
they listen to the fairy tales
she once believed.

Where's Laura?
Withdrawn, came the reply.

A vacant stare left undisturbed
by the passing of the years
Forlorn, she felt forgotten
He, an outsider to her grief
from him she withdrew..

Where's Laura?
Without, came the reply.

Came a time when night was day
and chaos ruled supreme
there was to be a single crushing blow
from the rubble came a sign
Lady Hawk, her spirits rose

Where's Laura?
Within, came the reply.

She laughed.
