the ending

the ending

A Poem by zeronineight
"

could we...?

"

could we

not talk of the ending

until we feel it looming

and coming to take us?

 

could we

not talk of the ending

like you know it is coming

like you're watching it happen

right before your very eyes

 

counting down

the time you're willing

the time you have left

the time you can spend

with me

 

could we

sit still in this silence

rage againt these currents

be?

 

could we

last longer than this moment

exist only in this moment

 

could we

 

 

 

 

 

 

be?

Poetically demanding. Excellent flow and pace.

Great read

The work itself is very powerful in the way that it tackles the troubling sentiment of future sorrows while lending an advice for one not to forget the blissful present. The idea in which the work presented is universal, and perhaps we all can relate to that idea in one way or another.
A wonderful work, author zeronineight.
