TRANSITIONS

TRANSITIONS

I am in a state of transition
And a coming subtraction is about to happen
When my two becomes a one.

My soul hides in fear of its immortality
My body feels the pain that dying brings,
And mind and spirit no longer sing in harmony
Not pleasant to see
Less pleasant to do
Terrifying when suddenly
It is happening to you

I am the perfection of imperfection
A giant to an amoeba
An invisible speck of dust to the universe
I‘m everything and nothing
But at least I’m something

I am happy to see you still on here Joe and often think of you and how you are doing. We all have our own struggles it seems anymore. I like this and wanted to tell you that you are SOMETHING and SOMEONE to me.

Love to you che bello
Mona

Grazie, amica mia.

feel the mortal coil shiver
this heat mad and votex wind
chasing dry leaves and empty
cups rattling

portent of storms awaiting
to follow deep in the glade
of night where dreams dance
and linger leaning
the fingers of wind through the
tall ripe grasses

you are the sum of much Joe
experience wisdom
words and memories
joys and sorrows

my poet freind

Thank you, Seven, but I say nothing that we all don't already know.
