Here I stand, dearest
Where the grassy hills hit the sky
And the sun looks like the resulting explosion.

It was in this field
That, all those shredded years ago
I let go of your hand, and the one became two.

Since that catalytic day,
Time becomes tangled in its own years
Ripped out of chronological order, then mixed up.

And you stand alone
And feel a ghostly hand clutch yours
And remember everything that ever was and never will be.

Would it be cruel
To smile, let go, and say
"Ignore it. It's just a trick of the light."?

I'm not dead, OK? I'm just a little electroencephalographically challenged!

This was well written. Kudos to you. I'm not around much any more, I drop in from time to time however, and this was nice.

Lies in my hands huh?? Well I must say that I belive I haven't seen this style before. If there is a word for it, I'd like to know. Anywho.. to be constructive; this was excellent and very nice in racking the sensory part of my brain. Pictures were trying to be made but each stanza shifted them a little. Too cool...

I read this through three times before I decided to reply! The first time I wasn't really paying attention to what I was reading. Then the last stanza caught my eye so I read it a second time. I read it a third time because I wanted to make sure I just read something THAT beautiful! Great work! Can't wait to hear more from you! ~Jess

Nice to see you posting here again.
Very descriptive poem. I really really loved it!
The whole thing came together perfectly.

I can't believe how beautiful this poem is. It spoke to me like few have done before. I felt this the entire way through. Beautiful write. Every part of it was absolutely charming.
