Matthew Anish Poet I do not know?

Almost the End of the Road

Doesn't seem 
   to matter to you 
 that your friend is dying
    you didn't  seem to care 
about what was
    happening to him
you didn't know what must be known
    As planes fly overhead
    one realizes 
that peace is coming
But while 
   the train is passing
we see reality 
        become something 
that 
      must be faced
up to 
   if one is to learn the power of love

Kristin Reynolds October 1, 2008 at 3:26 AM Matthew, the syncronicity of this day is overwhelming, as I am finding every poem I choose to read this day and the last is about renewal, death, tears, etc...while I am struggling with a loved one passing right now. This hit home and speaks voumes, as it's true, it only hurts those on earth, but it is a cause for rejoicing for the one going home - peace. Lovely write, love Kristin
