Observers Between
I feel like I’m between
Looking where I’ve been
As everything evaporates
No longer including me
Now only memories
And where I’m going
Through those older than me
Experiencing now
What is beginning to include me
Between what I had
And what would not
Happen to me
The doodle took place during a conversation
on the phone, earlier today. I’m not sure I should admit all my attention was
not on the conversation.
The water appeared and then the buildings and
then all these observers joined me to observe what I was remembering.

I get that on so many levels and the drawing proves it
ReplyDeleteIt’s nice to be understood. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteWell put. So many things happening that no longer include me. Once the center of my own universe, now even that seems tenuous. Then the things that are starting to include me, things I don't want to be included in, like funerals and plans that you know won't materialize. I guess I'm stuck somewhere in the middle of your drawing but you've said that much better than I.
ReplyDeleteThis is where I am, between and regulated to an observation role now, of those ahead and behind me, on life’s timeline.
