and you?

and you?

A Poem by knightcall

everybody wants to know how i'm doing
i'm doing just fine
my world is spinning faster now

it's so nice for you to inquire
eventually i'll catch up to your hearts
don't be fooled by empty spaces
they soon will be full again
i'm a man in transition
trying to get through tomorrow
on the way to next week

right now part of my world is hesitation
it's a physical thing 
some immutable law or something
so long i've waited for some relief
some rain for the heat in my life

sorry to hear your news
sorry this time i couldn't catch you
but inside me
you still bloom
you've grown as long as i've known you
the sand can't shake your roots

ask me a few more questions
i'll get back to you while i can
i close my eyes
the light remains
when the sun stays down
i'll stay for a while

those two lines say to me, things are a mess right now, so much going on, when there is a slow down, I'll be there.

Nice work Nightcall
