Echoes of Yesterday
Wireless switched off
memories flooding the airways
hand on a worried shoulder
"we prepared for this".
Sentimental possessions
letters for the beyond
"leave the keys"
crowded streets,
face the madness
holding hands reaching lush greens
soil under toe
wheat between the fingers
there's our destination
no turning back retracing steps
decisions made, regretful mistakes
the girl I never kissed, opportunities missed
A lost boy that never found his place
gentle smiles and kind-hearted touches
our family tree imprinted were they proud of me?
Fear of reflection joined by anxious faces
and yet
beginning to feel content
A little late than never our neighbors came together
We have the perfect view
feet firmly planted tears shouting out
"Why" and "What a waste."
Am I ready to meet my maker?
Hey I know
"Good riddance" I say
questions never answered
Pushing boulders up hill ever since it started
...
A fitting end
Painless with hidden messages
