In The Silence of Now

He lives for himself,
not selfishly
but out of need, I suppose.

But I can't break away
from my need to share
so I feel a stalemate in my heart,
sometimes drowning in
what I don't understand.

I often weep for my losses
wishing I could regain them
only because they are what I have known
and kept me straying from my beliefs.

I felt it then, saw it
in the emptiness of words,
the lack of lingering touch,
the silence of now.

I have felt this way before,
and probably shall again
as I lay here embraced by the cold,
paled by comparison to the beauty
of what once was...
in my own mind.

Maureen, this was beautiful, especially this:

I felt it then, saw it
in the emptiness of words,
the lack of lingering touch,
the silence of now.
