Challenges, Poetry

So I sit here and reflect

I sit here and reflect,
We used to be close,
Will we ever get that back?
Only time will tell, I suppose.

Memories linger like whispers in the air,
Laughter shared, secrets bare,
But distance grows with every day,
Will the path to you fade away?

I think of the moments, the dreams we spun,
The light-hearted jokes, the races we’d run.
Yet shadows creep in, doubt starts to swell,
In the silence between us, a story we can’t tell.

But hope lies dormant, waiting for its cue,
Like the dawn that breaks after the night’s dark hue.
Perhaps one day we’ll find our way,
And rediscover the bond that time can’t fray.

So I sit here and reflect,
With a heart full of wishes, a soul to connect,
For though life may twist like a winding road,
I’ll hold onto your memory, like a precious ode.

Poetry, Three Things Challenge

Embracing Shadows

Your final three words for this week are:
REFLECT
REVERSE
RILE

In quiet moments, I reflect,
On paths I’ve walked, the hearts I’ve checked.
Reversing time, with thoughts that swirl,
In the dance of dreams, emotions twirl.

Yet in the silence, feelings can rile,
A tempest brewing, in the heart’s deep pile.
But through the storm, I find my way,
Embracing shadows, welcoming day.
