"Transparent"

About relationships in transition...

 We came together from pieces,
            life was slipping away.
          I thought that whatever life teaches,
            we could learn from each day.
          Mistaking anger; for passion,
            chaos colored the skies.
          Thunder and lightening was crashing,
            and all I saw were blue eyes.

          Are we part of a vision,
            that sees deeper than we can?
          Are we the start of a mission,
            should you be holding my hand?
          Can we arrive there the first time,
            to save each others' screams?
          Are we the reason love is blind,
            or must we sigh, in dreams?

          I stand alone here now,
           though you remain so close.
          Flesh and bone; I fear somehow,
           that we are becoming....ghosts.

I think the transition is the period in which a couple pauses to decide whether they will go their own ways and cause the great divide or STAY and continue to work on what they began together. The thunder and lightning in a relationship is the passion and extreme feelings great love OR great division can cause, it is the couple who must make the decision as to whether it is all worth weathering the storms.
You've expressed all of that to me in this poem so creatively.

I can honestly say that is this truth. As humans we are on a quick course to becoming yesterday's history lesson.
