This is a poem about the passage of time and the things we let slip away from us. A bit of an abstract one with a theme that was and is still fitting because this year has flown by. For better and for worse. Originally posted in May 2024.

At Five Years End Finishes Yesterday&nbsp;

 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;By: A.X. Bueno&nbsp;

 

 

It's been too long leaving your memory hazy with things so different now&nbsp;

 

Naturally too far removed from where you started to pick up where you left off last&nbsp;

 

It's been at least five years since this all got interrupted back in the past&nbsp;

 

An unexpected interruption but it's been five years since then&nbsp;

 

You got a free second shot, an apology, a shade of frustration along with some friends&nbsp;

 

You could have tried to see it again while it was all still fresh in your mind&nbsp;

 

Instead with the next opportunity you jump right into seeing something else&nbsp;&nbsp;

 

Another incident so you jump into and enjoy going into something else almost blind&nbsp;

 

Things happen you couldn't foresee and thus jumps forward time&nbsp;

 

And when you've exhausted other avenues and distractions sublime&nbsp;

 

There you are again sitting down for it once again&nbsp;

 

Not by yourself but also not with those same friends&nbsp;

 

You settle down in a whole new but very familiar place and start over

 

This one thing being part of a number of holdovers&nbsp;

 

From what feels like another lifetime but was only years ago&nbsp;

 

And with a gap as short as yesterday&nbsp;

 

So you bridge it finally with a pressing of play&nbsp;

 

Hoping to re-experience that lost flow &nbsp; &nbsp;
