Caught within the confines of me,
I sat and pondered an opportunity
and realized the time might have passed,
the chance for amendments would not last
another moment, surely not another day,
so I asked the question, anyway
the one you were hoping
would remain unasked

how are you doing?
really?
are you Ok?

and then I found myself
slowly backing away in silence,
knowing the answer was unutterable
and the question, perhaps, inane
or at the very least, in vain

time is of the essence they say
but the timing must be right

you are not ready yet
to step to the next level
of healing

A core poem, m'dear...

a core poem.

Now the one
that was in my brain
will have to find
another way
to enter
me...

This is great:

"time is of the essence they say
but the timing must be right"

Great poem.

Oh, Kacy, this is really something.....it would speak perfectly for me if I sent it to someone I know, but I won't....'cause it's just not time.   ....jo

I loved this one, and loved the way you did the rhyme scheme in it Kacy, great job.  However, it is never too late, but then, you know that.      Carpe' Diem
