Musings of a Wordsmith - 2. Air

Something new (at least here!). Sorry, it seems sadness and inspiration sometimes go hand in hand…

I used to fly alone
just for the fun of flying,
of soaring high up in the sky,
of contemplating the greenery
of forests unknown,
of feeling life evolving.


You came then into my life,
I learned to go with you,
to despise being alone;
I learned to love and share,
I lost myself in that special way
love let us be nothing but our bond.


Bond broken, alone again.
So much to relearn:
Learn again to rely
on my senses, my mind,
on my own heart and soul
to be able to find my way.


But you all, my Friends,
as one rallied around
to help me find again
the way up to the sky,
the way to fly unbound.


You made me find
again my way home,
again love beyond the pain:
helped me believe in myself
being all that is needed
to make my dreams be.

Sad but beautiful in its simplicity.

Thanks, @Carlos Hazday , I try to work some of the sadness I’ve been dealing with into a play with words. It’s just like putting sadness into a word and sending the sadness away just by uttering the word…

You certainly have a poetic voice, JACC. This one was relatable to me. As much as we try, there are loves that won't last forever. Friendships can, though.

These lines hit me hard... "I lost myself in that special way
love let us be nothing but our bond." 

Been there, grappling to regain that which I let go of so easily. Well done... I was moved.
