This is what happens to the way we are
Things arise and drag us apart

Life is brutal, short and fading fast
Stop and think of all the time that’s passed

Don’t let the fragile thread be severed
The ties that bind us forever and ever

A plea tendered upon the silent wind
To take this angst from us in the end

So that loneliness we bleed for each other’s sake
We bleed and we bleed until we escape

Not content to find happiness in status quo
Just scratch the surface of what lies below

Neither you nor I shall ever be supplanted
As long as we never take the other for granted

This morning, I was thinking of how easy it is to drift away from even those who matter most... just because both forget or neglect to make the effort. And then I peek in here... and see that you wrote both problem and solution so beautifully. *S* I'm saving this... thank you! *S*

Oh wow...what suthern said, but more.

This had a feeling of a quicksand caring...
something that keeps up with you even when
times get tough; something that stays faster
than oatmeal on a rainy morning.

While most of that sounds dim, still, it's
a handhold that most won't grasp; a single
moment that even more will never know.

It's a fine gift, even as storm clouds gather,
and winds blow mean storms. It will always
be something to hold on to.

Well done!
