Just a slip of the tongue
They said
But he knew better
Heard it all before
A long time ago
Had not thought though
Of the feeling thing
The sift of sand
Through the fingers
Lets not jump the gun
They said
But he knew better
The feeling of doom
But not so easy
To leave the room.
I am afraid
You will have to stay
They said
How long
He said
Long enough
They said
He would like to say
Enough is enough
You can’t say that
They said
There are considerations
Considerations?
Please close the door
As you leave.

Sometimes the edges blur, old friend,
ReplyDeleteThe spark within you does not fade,
The brain is willing but the mouth has its own agenda.
You are still you – we won’t forget
Neither must you.
