SilverRose Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 You and I, onceSolitary travelers on this ship called Life,Meeting, embracing my deepest emotions and full beliefThat we were destined to be together and share the journey.How much can happen in an instant!Flesh-and-blood harmonizing in the briefest encounterAs butterfly wings or the strength to move mountainsUnable to foresee the tragedy ahead.I remember, as a girl, romanticizing deathAs if it were nothing but a shimmery poetic wordWithout the force of power to ever claim meNor touch anyone else with its reality.Til now, I did not know! I did not realize!Til now, I did not see that the fragileness of LifeIn the shortest unseen moment-flashCan, in itself, cause eternity to become emptiness.My plans have changed.No longer do I wish to return toThe place where I lived in days of joy and happiness,But for my ashes to be scattered where you died-For there, too, ended my hopes and dreams.I strain to hear your voice in the windBut you are not there.And I move silently thru the daysAs if the sunlight no longer exists,For it means nothing, holds nothing, in your absenceAnd the flame of hope has been extinguished.The nights are darker, colder than ever before-Chilled by tears and unspoken words.No one understands.Still, as for so long, attempting to push and pull meIn the direction of ElsewhereWith not a concern as to where I’ve needed to be.In the past, not so long ago, I had such a fear of dying.But now it is different.Something inside tells me it is o.k. to let go,To pass peacefully,If to be able to take your hand.But as he made her promise to continue lifeTo not give up, as I am pressed to doFor my heart to stop beating,As their song played the refrain unforgottenAn ache inside, rising, causing the chords to changeTo the haunting melody in the distance-‘Nearer, My God, To Thee.’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
