Redemption

is there

anything of significance 

beyond our point of relevance

rather, should refuge be the key we seek

believing all is well,

regardless of external disasters

lurking around this supposed tranquility.

against the slash of a single word

bleeding into weeks and months

years and beyond

or

do we roll back to days long past

to those memories we share,

desiring of anything that feels resplendent

inside these days of turmoil and tears

before

floating away on some abyss of nothingness

against the stillness of a pristine day

let us lay here

and remember

before it's too late,

happy smiles

between the miles

that tend to separate

the very best

of what we have left ...

'floating away on some abyss of nothingness
against the stillness of a pristine day'
I love this bit. I have just read a few of your poems and they all have a lovely flow, your descriptions are brilliant, combining a natural voice with some really specific vocabulary (not going to lie I had to google what resplendent meant, but once I knew it fitted so well into that sentence). Also love how you use so few sentences in your poetry, your own style.
