Reflections

I'm on my own, though not alone
in thoughts that stay my day.
You are there, with every care,
a voice in world of gray.

Memories that bridge the past
exist to fill each night.
Yet here I am in " false pretense",
a shadow in plain sight.

No getaway to share the fears,
where findings once were true.
Yes here I am, though not alone
in thoughts, arm's length from you.

powerfully emotive 'write'!

I'd like to think that 'poets' provide those 'voices' in world of gray.
[but, then again, romantic idealism has no place where raw
commerce/commercialism rule the day and ultimately, only profit
is worshiped.]

applause for this 'penning'!

"in thoughts, arm's length from you"

in thoughts I bring them so close that it hurts...

  I hope all is well with you.

such a closeness, yet such a viceral aloofness comes through in this...fine writing that not only touches, but speaks to the heart

Dear M, we are never really on our own, we reflect on our life and on our loves, often more happy with the memory than the truth. We often just remember the good times though bad might have been, I hope you also see a few of us smiling and happy when you see the reflection. Thanks for sharing your thoughts today my friend.

Rick
