Clearly Apart

 

After years and years away

You come back around

Dangling a white flag of truce

But there was no war

 

Reconciliation time has expired

 

Wrongs were committed

But are long since forgotten about

Turned into a funny, dark joke

Laughing at the absurdity

 

Perspective gives great clarity

 

No going back, I am too far forward

I’ve forgiven it all and stepped out

Slowly ride the hands of time

Future possibilities of hope unknown

 

A breadth of reflection works miracles

Lovely piece :)

I love this!!!!! It's so great. That first stanza packs quite a whallop (did I just say whallop???) wow. I'm shot!
lol Anyhoo, love the first stanza. Love the arrangement here, those single lines tying together the stanza's are hot! And the calm peace in your center seems to confirm you have indeed reconciled the past. Or, at least that's how I'm reading it. Nice work!!
