things change

Just something I had to write....

cast aside, rightfully so
a flash of anger brought on by pain
a day whose dawn lurked in the distance
distance covered too fast?
NO
acceptance of decisions made
good decisions for two
time and space not right
but,
initial shock has repercussions...
passage of time
logic cuts mourning to a fraction
balance restored
back on twisted track
yes, a better man in some ways

greener fields turned to dirt
climb back over the fence?
it may be too tall now
construction resumed when your back was turned
i did have a gate installed
i’ll let you in but, you have to go back out
i have no need to say sorry, but I will…. Sorry

read this with clinched teeth and anger?
you read me wrong
i can only be part of what I once was
old is gone, here now is new
remnants of old still in place
have no fear; I’m not lost to you
a part of me was given back
so, I’m keeping it

continue on fair traveler
for my physical being may not be at your side now and then, my spirit floats alongside of you

So many layers to this that I'm not sure where to start. it has a defiant yet conciliatory tone to it. Acknowledging what's occurred, then a "sh1t happens" type attitude, but out of it came some positives. I love "greener fields turned to dirt, climb back over the fence?"There's the thing, when people change and claim not to be who they were, (as I know I'm not who I was a few years ago ) we "loved" the person they no longer are. Therefore, we no longer love that person since they do not exist, only the illusion. Not sure I'm making sense. Anyway, a fine write that gave me much to think about :) Penny

You totally "got it" thank you so much for your review.

An interesting piece of writing. I was disappointed in the lack of punctuation. I found it hard to keep a flow. Not knowing where to take a breath.
Very good sentiments though.
Clever. I liked it.

I like this poem a lot because it speaks right from your heart.
