To Fade Without Warning

To Fade Without Warning

 

And then there was

nothing

Not even a breath

for his fingers to trace

in those

moments remaining

Condemned

to condense and be

gone in a

gasp, a flicker and fade

without so much

as a warning

and with nowhere

to hide

between and against,

the now

misted surface of some

old broken  

mirror somewhere ..

Condemned to condense, that is a harsh punishment indeed. Broken
mirrors tell of many fractured relationships. Farewells are painful, but with no warning the measurement of pain increases.

There is a difference between goodbye and farewell. the farewell with no return at all, that's what I read here. this breaks the heart.

[Neville]

It is a little bit sad isn't it ...and of course, you are so write, there is a marked difference & I am grateful for your noticing my friend ... Neville

[Kelly Scheppers]

The pieces of the mirror reflect what's fractured in our lives. Sometimes it's nearly impossible to mend what's broken. Good to see you, my friend!

[Neville]

[Kelly Scheppers]

Wow! Your poetic pen is working wonderfully! I really enjoyed this piece! So sad when things in our lives shatter at our feet and we don't know how to put it back together!
