The Aftermath

The Aftermath



Funny how tonight

I sit alone and write

As if hoping the words will suffice

to in some way give some comfort to the soul



Thought occurs to me,

by now, you probably or possibly found another,

for young whiper-snappers abound,

they take what I, a short time ago,

thought was mine



Timelines on my face

ingrained by virtue of the past

as now the night and the moon,

embark unto my heart,

the aftermaths everlasting tune



Wish you and yours well,

may happiness and love be blessed

upon you both,

Maybe, someday I too will feel nothing

Maybe, someday, I too will understand
