Dissolution Let the days fall softly into nights, which will then rise silently through dawns where cycles come to end inhaled by sleepy yawns. Do not watch me dissipate stop trying to hold on just a habit need be broke ashes blown, the fire's gone you cannot feel or embrace smoke. There is a greater need for distance and time alone to see there is no question why we leave the places we've outgrown without formal goodbye. |

Time comes, time goes, and in time our dreams will be our sleep (maybe I will write about that in time also)  a poet who cares |

I guess it makes me "less of a man" to admit it, but I don't really care about such things, so..... I don't think I've ever read a poem of yours, that didn't make me sigh....happy sigh, sad sigh, wistful sigh, a hundred kinds...but always a sigh. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

This evokes deep feelings and thought, the aim of every good writer. Ratleader, why do you think you look less of a man when you feel? That's what makes a man real. Rae |

I liked the calm of this...with peace comes clarity...emotive, more as a river than a sudden storm. For so many reasons, over all this time reading you...I find a gem in every facet. TD |

A calming, well-expressed poem on letting go gracefully with some fabulous imagery - especially: "you cannot feel or embrace smoke." LOVE that line! I relate to your words, lately I'm trying to let go, forgive and learn life lessons from an on-going love situation, so I relate very much so to your words and I find inspiration... I'm deeming this a keeper  Melissa~ Intellectually I know that Canada is no better than any other country. Emotionally I KNOW that Canada is the best country in the world! |

Dear Passingshadows, A very thoughtful write. I have worked with people, sadly to say, who would not leave the places they outgrew because they could never say goodbye to them. They were like grown-ups living in cribs. Thanks. BJ |
