. Poetry from The Great In-Between: A faint whisper

A faint whisper


If you once felt and experienced something


Truly magical

Really spiritual


A connection like never before


Don't burn that memory bridge back to it


Leave that door 

Open


Slightly ajar


For those days

One day


After all the pain has been extinguished


Will still be some of your good days


Memories linked to relationships can be painful


But in the quiet hours

Alone


And with music playing

Or maybe enjoying the silence


You too will still remember 

Those you once loved


From childhood through to adulthood


Those once beautiful souls


Who were brave and strong enough


To smile and beguile us


Even though the sad moments 

Like a golden ritual Athame knife 


Still cuts

Deep


And maybe will make you weep


When you realize 

Those golden days may have died


But they can still live on

 If you're courageous enough


To let sweet memories and pain

Collide
