Beyond the spaces of our lives
   lie accumulated loss,
either cutting us like knives
   or lying dormant like the moss that grows on
      trees in frozen land,
   How they shimmer in your hand like dying flame.
And any warmth that may remain
   is just your dreams surrounding lies,
      living just beyond your eyes,
         sleeping quietly denies that waking comes.
Beyond the shadows we have lived,
   beyond the yearning, aching mass,
seems that pain has kept its course,
   coming toward us not to pass,
      but to tantalize our thoughts
         by waving never ending loss
            beyond the spaces of our lives.

Fabulous and amazing!!! Loved it Geoffrey

ya got my vote

Yes, I am here, but I am dead, not alive,
my body goes on, my spirit has died
and I though alive, feel dead inside.

Thank you so much. There is nothing like pouring your Heart out on paper. Sometimes if not most times, putting your "Heart" on paper helps you see yourself and where you are in this life. Thank you all for your words. And thanks again, Doreen.Now, I gotta go and start reading more of your words and expressions ! Thanks, Geoff
