Victoria's Wisdom

Inspired from a friend, nothing lasts and friends come and go.

Are you 

the vapor 

the smoke 

the ice that melts 

the clouds 

or the mountains 

how long do we have 

are you here for the trip 

or the next stop, your last 

are you a foundation of sand 

or granite that holds 

 

are you flesh and blood 

or just words on a page 

are you a passing fad 

or a truth that stands 

time will tell your story 

maybe an epic 

or a saga 

or a paragraph 

or a sentence 

or even just a word 

"Fin".

Very nicely written Dave. Makes me reflect on some of the women that have passed through my life. I had two best friends who I guess were “paragraphs” measured against the totality of my life. They did not leave of their own free will, cancer took them both way too young. We never know how long we have. I still mourn the loss.

[Dave W.]

I mourn with you, loss is a bitterness in my soul.....

Fine but melancholic words, Dave. Specifically said, but, perhaps remedial? Tis sad...

[Dave W.]

Remedial? now I have to look it up......also welcome back Emma, your words are always welcome.

[emmajoygreen]

Remedial, making better, easing..
