August 01 The VoidWhere has my heart gone In emptiness I now dwell-
The breeze has gone still.
Where have my dreams fled
That which propelled me forward-
The silent waters.
The stars have gone black
My course no longer matters-
Adrift and alone.
A moment of sight
And then there is nothing left-
Was it ever there.
...
To re-awaken
To breath deep the crisp cool air-
Come again to me. To hear your laughter Or to understand your pain- To share and to heal. But this cannot be The earth accepts its burden- I dwell in the void. *** *** It has been several months since I last posted anything and I was, for the most part, taking a breather as I decide my next course in the crossroads and while I have been silent, I have been watching. Yes, I admit it, I am a LURKER. This Haiku string is a result of reading a post from one of my favorite stops; The Gav Menagerie. This particular post really touched home as I remember a friend, who when faced with a very different and difficult crossroad of his own, decided to take the path that would end his pain, but one that would create a void for those of us he left behind. After all these years, there is not a day that I don't think about him and wonder the what if's: What if I had been a closer friend. What if I had a chance to talk to him before he stood at that moment of decision. What if What if What if But I don't know, I can only guess. The Haiku string above begins with his voice and concludes with mine. And I still feel just as empty.
