Short as it was

Our time together
was short lived
so I stepped into
your shadow
I felt comfort there.

Looking back
it’s a shame that

a short life is ….
a journey less travelled.

Enjoyed this so very much. Time is a very funny thing it rushes past us however it tends to leave shadows behind that either comfort or haunt.

Nothing like a good journey cut short. Anti-climactic. 🙏🏻🕊

Some people can be with us just a little ... the journey as you says short ...but the path they tread still leads the way. Brief piece with no shortage of meaning.

[andrew mitchell]

The paths we share can be too short Pryde. Thank you for stopping by by.

A short life lesson traveled is a powerful statement. It says so much in a few short words
