I know it
I feel it
It has been postponed, delayed, put off
but it is inevitable
my stomach churns, tightens
a permanent lump in my throat
maybe... maybe not yet
can I pretend a bit longer?
Fear clings to me
maybe... maybe it could be GOOD
maybe it's not too late
for my
dreams
maybe we can realize happiness
for now, though
all remains confused
we walk on eggshells
we hold
our
breath
Quote of the day: Life is its own journey, presupposes its own change and movement, and one tries to arrest them at one's eternal peril.

ReplyDeleteI can relate to this poem too… My kiddos are all gone and I need to downsize my house.. but it's sooooo hard to let go… and… change
ReplyDeleteI love this. Change seems to be so hard. Good luck with accepting this change you are writing about.
ReplyDeleteThe unknown that comes with change is always frightening. I hope you are worried for nothing.
