Dust

I hate the end of things, to feel so strongly for moments that pass, that I wanted so despartedly to last.

 From whence did the rain come 

or darkness the light of day 

From where did the gloom creep though a hollowed wood 

or heaviness to a lighthearted soul 

what was the change in a current so faithful and true 

shifted tides 

changing times 

chapters closed 

there is no control of moments passing 

each face 

each heart 

each soul is 

but for a moment 

all passes through 

Good bye dear friend 

thankyou for loving in purity 

thankyou for being the ear that listened 

thankyou for being a heart connected 

love is beautiful 

love is pain 

love is sweet 

love is bitter 

saddest are the days of rain felt 

with sunny skies above.

Tis a season of change, I just wish that change didnt include people changing with it.....

What a heart-wrenching piece. The contrast between beauty, pain, sweetness, and bitterness tied it together. Thank you for sharing.

Thankyou for the kind words....

What a sad thought that is and one hard to escape from. BUT we need to somehow move on because we can. People who behave like that are not the best friends to have anyway. Is best to go slowly with friendship.. to keep conversation to chat, serious to fun, etcetera, etcetera. I smile at thos etceteras because they will always stay with the show or film of The King and I! 90

Sadly, sometimes, David, people are going through their own turmoil that may cause them to act out of their normal character.
Everybody has issues. Not all can vent them as beautifully as you do.
I love this poetry. You flow so easily and it seems your heart should be as pure as snow.
I wish you complete contentment and I believe you have that in our Creator. Bless you and your gift.

There are some sad illustrations in this poem, Dave. The saddest of all, perhaps, the conclusion that there's nothing one can do about a completely unforeseen deterioration in a relationship that had meant so much. The saying goes that another door opens when one closes, but there's so many wrong doors! Stay strong! Glen aka Nigel

Thankyou Glen, I have been coming to grips with the end of friendships.

Dave W. You never cease to amaze me! Just when I think you are retiring that mighty pen of yours...
Yes, things change. But you are in every person's heart that has ever read you. That's a fact.
