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.
