Notes About The Poem

Transition

In the end, what is there to be, but alone?

To recognize at last and say goodbye

To all those things that were not I;

To join the others who wait eternal

For another touch of another breath that is life;

The passage that returns and returns,

As we start alone, and end alone,

And in between have those great and grand adventures,

Where each awakening is a reconnection to the memory

Of that other part of ourselves; 

Once separate,   

Then joined,  

Then not.
