Unfulfilled & Vacant - nowA Poem by rachelgeorginaA short, rather morbid collection of words. The description of an end, of a moment, of a whole (yet short) life passed. A form of farewell, if you will. Or, perhaps, simply the description of one final moment.Therein the shadows they lie In watch and in simple wait (There is fairly little to take) For that one moment. From the mountain peak they – rasp and try to breathe Drawing breath through time Until that instant when... Sun rises far ahead and trees around sing a certain song. Those shadows recede and – Emerge do they, float forwards And there, on the edge stood I Staring down below, thoughtless Free of fear and torment, finally. Away from the hidden shadows, now – Unbound and liberated To let go, fall, collapse into the wind - And cease to be anything, anything at all. A short, leaping conclusion. Yes, a conclusion. To an empty, undreamed grief. Grief of living, existing – of being- Over, in that one bright moment. © 2008 rachelgeorginaReviews
