OUR TRIP
Our trip began on a beautiful day...
flowers were all abloom.
The sky was blue...
the sea was calm.
Beauty lie all around.
But much too quickly...
the skies turned grey.
The wind became a savage beast....
it ripped at our very souls.
The flowers have all died...
the beast has been tamed.
Now.....
all that is left.
Is a gnawing reminder...
quickly turning to disdain.
Can we set all this aside...
Or, has too much been destroyed.
Perhaps we can chart a different course...
go in a different direction.
One that is calmer...
can we talk about this sensibly...
Not emotionally...
and end this pain forever.
Or....
Is it too late...
to try to forgive and forget.
