the ass-end of space

Underfoot the crunch
of shattered illusions
keeps steady company

Having walked the path
this far I know these things
are meant to pass

Mere droplets in
the slow distillation
into something beautiful

But knowledge of
what may come to pass
holds little solace

in the dull ache of what is

Raphey, I wish that I had the power to take your "this" away and replace it with  THIS  "something beautiful".

I would, you know, if I could......

Raph, you have a way of getting right down
to the ground level, yet always let the reader walk away lifted up in thought.
I love your intensity, the way you breathe Life deeply.

But knowledge of
what may come to pass
holds little solace

in the dull ache of what is

very true, very right on target....
yes, raf, supposedly time heals.
but when the time is now, thats NOT much
of a consolation prize, at times is it?
feel the sunshine in the rain, what else could i say?

Excellent point Raph,  yes...sometimes it is
difficult to see the good of what is to come
when the roof is leaking and ready to cave in...

Solace is the freedom to write poems like this to which many can relate ... little sparkles of hope always ARE in the NOW and they carry us on ...
Bravo, come sempre.
E' ORA che crei il tuo futuro....il dolore di ora ti farà riconoscere e vivere più intensamente la gioia di domani.
Dipende molto da noi.
Abbracci. Margherita
