The Only Exception

Clock strikes as the light fades from view and all you can see is
yellow. 
Standing there watching you live out your destiny and I 
couldn't be prouder. 
Filled to the brim with compunction our paths couldn’t converge 
but I'll always be there for you. 
You're going farther than anyone could ever perceive, fathom,
imagine. 

And you'll have me right behind you every step of the way
as we develop, grow, manifest into the best versions of humanity, 
become what we were meant to be 
and increase our eudaimonia to optimize our potential 
as camaraderie metastasizes 

to levels unseen since the inception of the written word.
Congratulations on getting everything you ever wanted. 
You deserve it and every other reward you reap in the ebullient
years to come. 
I only hope I can be as fortunate, methodical, utopian.
maybe someday

Already Gone

It feels weird, 

though perhaps not as much as you might think 

to come back & find it 

all dusted away. 

your life, 

your friends & family, 

everything you knew 

now off in a distant dimension 

how are you supposed to react? 

perplexed?

euphoric? 

lachrymose?

irate?  

all (or none) of the above? 

it matters not. 

what does is attempting to

pick up the broken pieces of 

your existence & see if they 

still fit. 

because if not, you may find 

yourself sitting in the back row 

of your own funeral long before 

your time has come
