The journey to the Summerland

It’s breathtaking,

the speed at which life is going these days.

It’s also shocking how quickly

my fellow travelers are falling away.

For some, the release from their

torment or pain, 

I do not begrudge them and indeed 

celebrate their freedom, 

as the wheel turns.

But it’s getting lonelier.

I’m not alone.

I am surrounded by people that 

love me and support me.

But there’s getting to be fewer and fewer

all the time

of those who knew me 

when I was young, or younger, anyway.

That ancient, mere ripple of 

who I am now

is no longer able to be reflected 

in their eyes.

Now 

I have to remember

by myself.
