different

A single moment is all it takes to change the world,

a single deed, a single word, can change who you are,

one moment you’re in command, the very next second…

……in a different place, in a different world,

I’m looking at a different you,

every step I’ve taken to get here is different,

everything we’ve done is different,

I clearly did not know what was going on,

you are different, you are not who I knew you to be,

parts of you were hidden from me,

and I am different,

I have been building a puzzle with missing pieces,

I have no idea where I am now,

the route has gotten terribly convoluted and overgrown with shadows,

I’m in the company of strangers, least of all myself,

and I don’t know what I’m doing tomorrow, or next week, or next year,

every certainty has changed, been removed or reshaped,

my entire world has collapsed and it is terrifying, as I watch

the world as I know it, shatter……….

Misty Moments

This day is slowly coming to an end,

mist rises from the south over the ocean,

and as this grey wall moves ever closer,

I draw closer to be with you.

In the falling silence we sit, side by side,

breathing in the moist, salty air,

feel the peace and tranquillity it brings,

just as I feel when I am with you.

The sky, the sea, the valley a swirling cloud,

a shroud around the world, as we are wrapped in our love,

trawling across the mind and body of the other,

seeking the mystery that is within only you.
