CAN'T SEE

7/1/2009

You're beautiful, you're powerful, you're unwavering, but I can't see it.

You're a leader, you're a helper, you're the light where there was darkness, but I still can't see it.

You're a daughter, a mother, a sister and a friend, but I just cant see through these tears that won't stop coming every time that I stop to look for you.

I'm greedy and I'm selfish because I want it all back. I want a chance to say hello, I love you, and then goodbye, and I want to get it right.

I damn these days and years without you. I curse a sickness that I can't control. It's so dark looking out from in here.

There's nothing special about today, there's nothing new about tomorrow, I just miss you Mom.

About Burke

Burke is not a writer, author, poet or even a very good story teller. He just believes in this amazing shared experience that we are all cast into.

Lori (Burke's mother) began teaching him to read and write at a very early age. When Kindergarten started, Burke was already reading newspapers (he had a strange interest in the obituaries), writing poetry and short stories.

"There's nothing like thinking about our existence and place long enough to let descriptions of those memories happen. The way words crawl and curl through vivid memories is incredibly beautiful to me." - Burke

WE'RE NOT HERE TO "FIT IN"

"A TRAGEDY LARGER THAN ALL THAT WE KNOW TO BELIEVE THAT THIS TRIP THROUGH THE STARS MIGHT BE SOMETHING TO OWN, SOMETHING TO CONTROL. THIS SLIVER OF TIME, THIS FRAGILE, FABULOUS AND FEARFUL ACCELERATION TOWARDS THE END IS TO BE ENJOYED, ENDURED, BUT NEVER, EVER CONTROLLED”. - BURKE
