The come and go of it

Having thrown one’s self
Willingly and fast
Into a future
So as to have a past

Liking the way this
Feeling feels
Wanting to make
The senses reel

Almost likely
Something will come
Full circle...
Feel the hum

We were so close
That distance may pole
Us together once more....
A common goal

Loss of what is to come,
No longer trying to revive
And keep warm,
What won’t survive

But all the while,
Sensing loss though
Fingers still reaching...
Not for another, only for you

Sad and lonely... but very well done. You made me feel the poem and that speaks well of your effort.  Peace!

Lady, A beautifully written piece about
the loss of a close one.
Enjoyed.

Nicely done, even when there is not a chance there is still hope.

Do not fear going forward slowly,
Fear only standing still.

Beautifully written. The last verse contains so much loss and longing.
