No More

The air is stinging
I feel a twinge deep down in the bottom
of my stomache
It's as though I'm on a rollercoaster way
at the top falling, falling
dropping down, down

Where did everyone go
They are gone now
Like the squirrel that has gathered
her nuts, they leave the shells
behind, you see, there is little to be had
They look for new seeds to nuture, to store,
for the others now have gotten old and there is
little to gain

It is almost too much to bear
This searing heat of emptiness
This brand that I now wear
Here today,
tomorrow easily forgotten
Every moment brings
me nearer to history
until there is
no more

Nicely written! This piece makes me think of losing loved ones throughout my life. Not sure if that was the message you were shooting for. Great job!!

Hey dog, did you see the size of that chicken!?

(big hugggssssss) This too felt to me like the thoughts of missing lost loved ones, sweet friend, know those who you've lost will always love you with all their hearts and you will never be alone! (sigh) This is heartfelt, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Oh, I've been there! Tie a knot on the end of that rope and hang on!

Remember, "And this too shall pass!" I say it over and over like a mantra when life gets a little too difficult for me to handle.

You wrote this very well.
