Come into the warmth

Cherry

For our sanity
We must realise that everything is sand

Nothing of ourselves will remain
Only shadows in other people’s thoughts

What haunts you now will vanish into air

Let it go
Let dust be dust

Live for the warmth of the living
For the flood and ebb of breath
For the spirits of this world
As they live for you

What has passed has passed

Come into the warmth for as long as it may last

This is so well constructed, and the reference to the warmth of the living, echoed in the last line, gives it a particular depth and wisdom.  Lovely piece of work.

Indeed, live for today and enjoy what we have - too many people search for the impossible whilst life is fast passing them by.

This is what I call 'adult thoughts' smiley

What wise words you speak in this poem. I couldn't agree more with your sentiments, they're exactly how I feel.

A really valuable write that's so deserved of those cherries and more.

Thanks Jenny. I dreamt about my friend last night and woke up with a broken heart. It's my message to her. x
