Thank you very much. @AC Benus proposed this project, and it seemed to fall together perfectly. 

This is a beautiful, pensive poem contemplating the personal experience of death. Well done, Parker!

@AC Benus and I wrote alternating stanzas. I think our efforts complimented each other well. Thank you for reading and for your thoughts. 

Many emotional states flow from this collaboration, but the conclusion brings them together in the important one:

Quote

So would I clasp your hand in mine

When moments grow too few

For confidences, jests or songs

Shared when our world was new.

Thank you for reading, and sharing your reactions. I really enjoyed this collaboration; it seemed as if @AC Benus read my mind on several occasions as we traded stanzas.

It was pure, back and forth inspiration

Thank you, Parker

Just really beautiful and blended so well.

As @AC Benus said, it was pure back and forth inspiration, I’m glad you think it turned out well. 

Lovely in it's contemplation.

Thank you very much, Dugh. 

A beautiful and introspective look at life and its inevitable path toward the end of life - something I have thought about quite often.

You’re really kind to offer your thoughts on these. It seems we march not upward but inward as our time draws near. Thanks again for reading.
