sit a spell


image.png

the words are on the paper
but they don't always rhyme
just echos fading softly
adrift somewhere in time

when the memory's all we got
and even that wants to fade away
when we can't even remember
to which gods it is we pray

somewhere in the ether
floating through infinity
is a tether that is binding
every you and every me

sometimes I still sit a spell
toss wishes to the wishing well
then you slip my mind again
but we never say farewell


Inspired by @dreemit's poem.

I lile the way this reveals itself to be a poem about separation in the final stanza.

Initially it feels as if it may be about personal development, and the change im the final lines pulls the whole together in an unexpected way

I love the idea that we are all connected, makes it easier to love people when I think of it that way:)

This is an awesome flow of consciousness:) I'm so happy that I inspired you, what a compliment!

On some level... it's always rhyming in my head. 🤗

Very nice writing, I very much agree with you that everything something connects us and I think it does, many memories that disappear and the rhymes that don't match the poetry, very cool writing I enjoyed it as I was reading it, thanks for sharing ♥
