To tell the story, behind the story.

To tell the story, behind the story.

A Poem by Jon Roggie

You.

Yes,
  you!

Walk with me.

No.

Wait for the moment.
   It will make more sense.

Now,
  we walk a bit longer.

  --------------------

Finally,
  sorry it took so long.

Did you see that?

A moment in time,
  beautiful in passing.

What am I talking about?

Time for another walk.

 ----------------------

Notice how things are dim?

Visions of things may come.

Gives us a chance to meet.

Sorry about the setting.

Family agreed to let you throw the first handful of earth.

----------------------------

Wait.

Not fair to you.

While each snapshot of words....




Just go away.

Forget my words

I'll find another spot to sleep
