If Today Will Bring the Dawn of my Departure

If Today Will Bring the Dawn of my Departure

A Poem by nicki_504

 

If today will bring the dawn of my departure, upon my last breath I will breathe the words “I Know You” and you will be here with me and I will not be afraid because now I know what I have always wanted to know. And this knowledge did not come from any experience we shared but has always been imprinted upon my soul, it has always been and it will go with me and reside within me always. We will never part, ours will never die, no story will ever recreate what we shared, no description will describe the fallacy of our deception, and no person will place us amongst the great legends of our time. We will be nameless in history but more momentous because of this secrecy, never being diluted by the duplicity of words or the exaggerations of poets. Ours will be kept chaste by this simple act of discretion, by our own apparent indifference, by our ability to escape needing the security of an affair grounded in reality.

I agree with your thoughts on having known God before we are born, it is imprinted on our souls, we can run with it or let it fall by the wayside...free will reigns supreme. You don't make your point crystal clear, which is a shame, but that is what I took away with me after reading this beautiful piece...
Cheers and full marks for a gutsy and poignant write.
Helen :-)
