Sometimes we do.... sometimes we don't....

Coming to Terms

Silent steps from the deep end of Eternity
Seem to echo more mournfully down the corridors of your loneliness.
The long march of a tall man
Casting his lengthening shadow slowly toward your fretful feet

Every minute: missed
Some days: distressed
Every week: wanting
Some months: mourning the more
Every season: seeking still.
Each year, a year of no lesser yearning
A year yet lacking resolution:
Learning,
That a coming to terms
With ‘coming to terms’
Comes only in its own time…

Only on its own terms.

Very introspective piece, Tony. Quite a lot of underlying sadness to be felt here. Love 'corridors of your loneliness'. We can also relate to 'coming to terms with coming to terms'.
