Without notice,
a shadow remains,
all signs of life
become only fantasy.
There once was time
we could depend upon
each other telling
ourselves everything.
Once in our lives
the impulse to love
seemed easy,
almost necessary.
When two soul
share a common desire,
it is possible
to find permanence.
Yet the heart is the ache
when confusion
speaks to the circles
inherent with insecurity.
That good-bye we might fear
becomes a silent reckoning.
