I I agree. Why was I left behind at the station? I was there, didn't you see me? My arms outstretched, wanting a hug and a smile. Didn't you see me crying as you left, mother?
Yes Regis, this is a soul baring write and it leaves footprints on the ceiling as we try to catch up to the speeding transport. Runnng after something we cannot reach beyond our control.
What is it with people that have abandoned the ones they are supposed to love unconditionally?
This is a heartbreaking, soul baring, heartfelt write Regis. You know I can relate to everything you have said here. Thank you for sharing.
May the Lord Bless you, and those whom you love, and be with you always, and walk by your side. With love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your little sister Barbie. |

| Amazingly sustained, this feeling of abandonment, Regis; especially effective is the whooshing starship imagery, I find, which cleverly encapsulates the bigger picture that goes beyond mere momentary loss. I love the realisation that the "other" seems to somehow have "succeeded" in an almost "now-you-see-me-now-you-don't" kinda way... the bewilderment in the final lines is gut-gripping. Pure emotion flows through this pen, yet is painful to perceive. A very sad, write, dear one. xx |

I think "Gone" strikes a bell with many of us in our modern-day society, such as being left out from the high school prom. Even in another day and circumstance, Jesus on the cross felt forsaken: ""..Jesus cried with a loud voice saying, 'E'li E'li, la'ma sabachtha'ni?' that is, 'My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?'" --The Holy Bible, KJV, Mathew 27:46
Still, "Gone" gives recognition to the need for all of us to be "included" and not subject to immoral discrimination.
Perhaps I get too "heavy" when I read about "Gone" persons. But I commend you for keeping this issue before us. (And I loved your picture as dramatically appropriate and illustrative.)
