A Hand Simply Out of Reach

We were like the tide 
 drifting away with our 
shallow streams
 of dreams .
Never really knowing 
which way the wind 
was blowing .
But as the days 
dimmed to dawn 
we wake up the 
next morning
 and they’re gone . 
Leaving us alone 
with one thing to do
move on .

Enjoyed the poem, I know where you’re coming from. I think you may find “Solitude” by Ella Wheeler Wilcox of interest. John

The lesson is when you experience loss you don’t have time to wallow in your sorrow. Because this world doesn’t come to a halt just for you. It just keeps going you just have to learn how to move with it.
