I have been traveling through that door
that portal that shows the eddy, the whirlpool, vortex if you will.
A sight i would rather never have seen.
Life leads directly back to where you started from.
I knew this.
Then why am I so at a loss.
When at what point do we come to the realization
that not all that was dreamed will never be.
Those days in summer
swimming in the creek,
flying from the tire swing hanging by a lone rope,
falling gently into the waters waiting cool.
Fishing for the first time,
and then doing it later with the children you love.
Capturing a glimpse into sheer love and amazement.
It ain't over till it's over
I have heard.
