when i am goneA Poem by Karen D Reeves
i may leave before
you think i should but if i do don't worry there is no failure, only choice and i just got tired of the role stepped off the stage to rest and contemplate the next having chosen my exit i am only backstage maybe on a walk down the street but i am not lost, only changing once again the elements of me rearranging themselves the chaos before creation is what you see but rest assured of a new day in a new place with a new sun where we will be gathered once again on the stage of a new play singing fresh lyrics to songs of the same Truths but better understood now look for me look for me look listen and know you will recognize me when it is time standing on the mark in front of you and it will be as it was but new and you might even remember the place from which we started which we have never really left and that there is nothing else but forever no need to cry just listen © 2015 Karen D Reeves |
