Once
• 05/07/24 at 09:08AM •Once, in the beginning,
at the start of life,
an imagined beginning.
Once, in the beginning,
at the start of life,
an imagined beginning.
Life is like a tunnel.
In the beginning, darkness.
Darkness, with faint light,
in the distance.
As we travel, the light brightens.
Suddenly, all is brightness and noise.
Such must be the
feeling of life,
in the beginning,
at birth.
There lies a creature,
within my soul, at rest
There, its lain, since I was,
born out of wedlock, not the best.
I know it's true,
for I've been told,
You will soon be free.
Out in the cold.
"What are you doing?",
said a voice, sounding like Doom,
as it rang out from,
the back of the room.
I'm speaking to a friend,
if you'd be so kind, to not
butt into my conversation,
for it is his ear that I've got.
Just go away,
leave me alone,
it's my new place,
which I call home.
I sit in wonder,
now alone,
with no one close,
who I could phone.
Not talking about
my family,
but about my
missing thee.
Thee who was,
my lovely wife,
no longer here but
now gone, from life.
I talked with her,
about daily events,
we had our positions,
weren't on the fence.
This luxury is
no longer here,
so I sit alone,
she's not near.
I know this sounds,
like a "Woe is Me,"
but in fact,
it's my reality.
A long time ago,
in a faraway place,
I envisioned, the beauty,
of seeing your face.
Your brown eyes,
so, warming to see.
The voice of an Angel,
who I saw, in thee.
Love, the eternal feeling of
the love of another. A deep,
caring love, which you never,
experience again. Cherish it now.
The world may never know
My love for you
And they may not even care.
Others may not understand,
This feeling
And they may not try.
It doesn't matter if they do,
All that is important is
Your knowing it is you.
No, no,
I must explain,
the words,
Mark Twain.
When the measured,
depth of water,
is six foot,
or better,
we are talking about,
below the keel.
It's a measurement,
which is real.
A Meter here,
A Meter there,
Centimeters,
Are everywhere.
A resubmission from 6 years ago.
Perhaps I knew something then,
before my thoughts became jaded,
by living in the real world.
If I,
With wisdom,
Chose to say,
From now on,
No better day,
Would ever
Let it be,
To run
Or walk
Eternally,
To a better life,
Than you have known
Or have more wisdom
Than you have shown.
One day soon,
When I am gray,
I will not choose
To run away.
What happened to me?
Where did I go?
I'm lost in my thoughts,
which are nothing I know.
Please talk to me now,
for I need to know.
Was I lost in my thoughts, or
still waiting for Go!
When the light,
hits your eyes,
it is a reflective
surprise.
Long will I,
think of you,
for I am missing,
you, too.
Do I know,
who you are,
or where you live,
near or far?
Probably not,
is what I'd say,
as for you,
please, go away!
Was that,
rude of me?
I am blind,
and cannot see.
Please leave,
now, please.
Just go away,
let me be at ease.
