Where We Stand

Where do we Stand?

Losing ourselves
It's not a point
An arrival 
A destination
A departure
A beginning
A never ending
An end
a time to mend

In the groundlessness
We’re standing
 Where we stand
Ground shaking,
Earth shattering
You and me til the end.

Its true
Unshakable
Others will not complete us
It's you who I trust
They will not save me
Here I am 
Exposing all my wounds
The lost fragments of my bones
Our raw hearts beating still
Share shameful secrets If you will

Drop the mask
And all pretenses
Expose the unprotected
The gilded and the jaded
Risk being rejected
Ridiculed and shamed
But I’m not forever maimed
My arms are here to hold you

We are loved for who we are
We stand where we stand
Ground shaking
Earth shattering
You and me til the end.

The coming alive 
before we die
It might take a lifetime
 to discover
It might take a long time 
to recover
It is a rare happenstance 
That the one 
you always longed for
Is the one who ached for you.

Sam Scott May 19, 2024 at 11:53 PM This poem is woven with sadness and longing and the last few lines were powerful for me.. as well as the 'my arms are here to hold you'. Oh how the ones we love, sometimes at a distance, haunt and create an ache deep within. A beautiful poem. Sam :') Rowe Weiss May 20, 2024 at 5:42 AM Thank you Sam. Ironically, the poeple who barely know us, understands the deepest recesses in our minds more than the people who have known us for a very long time.
