Companion rocks

When you are telling stories of your life, but you turn around to see they are gone

is it just me holding on to the memories

all of my companion rocks on that unlevelled land have been flowing away

leaving all behind just as the water does

but I am still sitting deep, frozen in time

is it just me trying to collect more

because I've been waiting for the wind waves to turn around again

and every particle on me is getting washed away as it does

but I am trying to get to them, move on with time

is it just me who get to watch the same dreams at night

because I don't anymore see my name mentioned on their passages

and I've been trying to make them stay but they are just getting flown away

like they are stapled to me but their heads have grown above with time

tell me is it just me who'll be the one waiting at our old spot after 15 years

or will I ever be questioned about my plans again

is it just me who'll be crying to see the saved picture books the countless times

or will I ever be rewarded again for the compromises I made..

is it?

Compromises can be two-sided. Made in kindness and can be forced. I liked the questions at the ending and thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.

Hi Grace, no, it is not just you, I find that I am forever questioning myself on the choices I have made in my life. I know I have made many mistakes and I know I must live with them. I like to look at the now and to a bright future that may never be. A creative and thoughtful write, my friend. Have a wonderful Wednesday. Hugs always....Mike.

Thank you so much Mike. It's not really about mistakes but about the best best friends u thought would never leave u n will stay forever but u still doubt if they really would.

Hi Grace, just goes to prove my point that we can all take something different out of a certain write, not always what the poet intended and that is not a bad thing. Now that you have written this, I so easily see the true meaning of the piece. Have a wonderful evening. Hugs always....Mike.

I know right! even i love this thing about poems. And I loved your point of view too! :)

No it's not just you it's all of
us we tend to question our
plans dreams and future .time
washes away dreams sometimes
but also pain .. time is merely
an illusion running past and present
together.. it's up to us to make the
most of it

nice write

[grace]

It is really strange how time changes...change everything ...the viewpoint, the warmth and so on.But sometimes we froze on that particular time ,when may be others gone ahead of me.

Really liked this piece....actually time rules everything , we are just puppets.
Thank you for sending me the message...I will check more of your stuff....though I am a struggling poet myself:)

Keep writing

[grace]

I know right, time does rule everything.. I am glad you could relate. Thank you for reviewing! :)

I like how you use a metaphor of companion rocks for memories. I pictured, in my mind, the little rocks that people paint on and leave around for others to find. (My grandkids loved finding those.) I could see them in my mind, sitting in a stream as the water flowed around them. I love repetition. You use it effectively.

[grace]

I'm glad that you liked it Shelley.. but just a little correction, i used companion rocks as a metaphor for my old friends who've been moving away with time.. and that's more clear in the last stanza, the old spot after 15 years one, kinda the reunion thingy. But, Thank you so much for appreciating it!! :)

[Shelley Warner]

Oh I hadn't noticed that. Good metaphor.

[grace]

Thank you!
