Notes About The Poem

In the radiation waiting room

the calm here is filled with your presence
i feel your energy come over me
as it lingers in the air i breathe
and paints a warm smile upon my face
i do not feel alone

it's surreal how there is hovering
that's tangible between the two dimensions
meanwhile this still looks much like
a processing plant but feels to me
more like a gateway where we said our last goodbyes
and i have come to bask in this energy
so no, i do not feel alone

i'm remembering how i waited
in this same room on this same chair
then you would suddenly come around the corner
such were the simple times
when i was there for you
and you were here for me
but still i feel your kinetic energy
like arms around my body
and do not feel alone

Resonates totally, eerily, hauntingly, and yet reassuringly with me, Line. Thanks for posting this one, Gershon
