Slownley


The interminable time and space
Conspired inspired indifference
To hold and to cherish
Forever till we pass
To both sides of our shores
These settlement homes
An admiration of many
We keep routes planted

Why then must we remain so
Prisoners to chronology
Abandoned purposeful to obligation
Completion then beginning
A monarch journey
Touch and cocoon and chrysalis
We miss

Departure sweet sorrows
A bridge to futures
Unknown possibilities
I turn and look to you all
Progeny and progeny faced
We will not good bye

Final glimpse no regret
An example to the adventure
Across the narcissistic pond
My memory with you all
We live lonely expanse

My land is on earth
A migrant from place to place
My footprints touch this space
We renew anew

Avowed from my heart
Two souls found many
We gather the clan

A meld of our hearts
We find peace and solace

We are family

Pity


Forgive me

Really?  But for what?
Your words ring shallow.

You know, just forgive me.

No.  You must say the words
I need to know you know

But I don’t see

Then I cannot forgive.
You do not need forgiveness
You need to feel I am not angry with you
But I am
I cannot forgive you
I will not
Because you have no regret
So I will not forgive
But I will forget
You
