Sophomore Slump


Felicity
Has passed us by
This week or two
When things have changed

The strongest bonds
Broken down
By distance
Emotional or physical

Past mistakes come
Back to haunt
As new ones
Form in the same way

Newness appears as
Perfect sameness
Nevertheless
Completely unrecognizable

And worst of all
Two lives ended
In unthinkable ways
Making it all seem so minor

Spirits cut short
Before they had a chance
To become
Wise fools
(R.I.P. Boris and Zack
1987-2006
Our prayers are with you)

How true this is... Sometimes we find ourselves dwelling on little hurts... then get hit with something that makes us realize how lucky we were.

I am so sorry for your loss.

A very sad and touching poem. One that really made me think and I am in agreement with suthern, in comparison to something like this my own pain is small thing.

"Spirits cut short
Before they had a chance
To become
Wise fools"

I leave you with condolences from a wise fool.

With Coca Cola clouds behind a Big Mac sun."
