Is This It? #1
Is this how it all ends.
Asking less and less from life.
Hearing little of the sounds around you.
Saying less or nothing at all.
Wearing a Cheshire cat’s grin?
No heroic gesture.
No stoic stance.
No wisdom to guide us through This breathless darkness?
No quiet dignity?
Where is the truth in all this?
Is there none at all at the end?
Only to be held and kissed Until you slide softly away from us?
Where are the roar and the thunder
That would have leapt from your mouth and hands
If it had been one of us?
