The Last Goodbye


 

Vexed, I sit in silence in the corner thinking

Quietly by myself

Colours flash past and I feel an inward sinking

 

I see you walking across the ceiling

Your mind blown from all reality

Deep within yourself there is a true meaning

 

I know; I’ve been there

I need the unclenched soul inside

No diamonds or rubies

Just your mind free and wide

 

No. Don’t let it happen again

I can see right through you

Into your mind, what’s left, not slain

 

Think. Or at least try to

Your mind blows again

Please, not again

You can’t hide. It shows

 

Words have meanings

Or at least, they used to

This is not you

Your body and spirit are separate

So many great lines. I especially like,

"Words have meanings
Or at least, they used to"

Nicely done.

Yes, Andrea! The strength is from within and having read so much of your work it surely is! To change the metaphor - the Force is within you!!

I am away from reality for 10 days with my big girl and her husband.

Keep the inspiration flowing - you have su much to share with us lesser mortals.
