In the blink of an eye, there you stand .
Alone in the room.
And the world flies by, at breakneck speed. Outside the window all a blur and you are standing still.
Every nerve on high alert and numb the next. Your face wet and salty, You feel bereft.
It came to pass, you knew it would… And here you stand as unprepared as the day you flew down the chute and landed on this Earth.
Swaddled in her arms , protected, promised, loved .. So what now ? An Orphan, stood!
The Adult in the room , the floor collapsed beneath your feet, you did not expect to feel so lost, and there you hang , upon your breath.
In and Out, in and out , waiting for the floor to reappear. What next ? For an Orphan, unprepared ! Slowly, move towards the door, the arm outstretched … Steady yourself to pack the remains of a life well lived. , To feel the loss and love entwined in one, as the memories flood of a life well loved.
And so it is! Your flesh is Him and Her , your heart is full. And life goes on , until it’s You. The final words “stop it now, it’s not goodbye”…and they ring true
