Drifting
And I ask will you tell of this story
with those stars once disguised in your eyes?
Looking back is not long.
Everything then made sense.
Sometimes days promised of a new prize.
Now those prizes have stopped
but do they have to?
Everything comes with its own price to pay.
Besides, you would find there is a box with a prize
which in time you end up throwing away.
And like those toys what have you molded into?
You are a shell with nothing left inside.
Just as you have thrown away your life over time
perhaps your turn to be tossed aside.
It does not seem long ago.
What happened?
Can you reach as you did before?
Like a drifter you drift in and then back out.
Do you wonder who you are anymore?
Again I ask, will you tell of this story?
Perhaps better, let it drift out to sea.
You are forgotten about as you have now floated away
for once more nothing in life is for free.

Lost love was never more exquisitely expressed through poetry than here. And the acceptance at the end is philosophically attuned realism at its best. Great work here my friend.

Michael, so true. Everything in life is ephemeral, including life itself.
