Slipped Away

A simple poem of what may have slipped away in time or loss

I will watch it fall,
Into that consuming dark,
I will feel it slip
As its left its mark.
It wont be slow
Like movie scenes,
But all to soon
It will have gone, hardly been.
So strong once,
So bold,
But as does all,
Too soon grew it old.
Decisions figured thier own way,
No second chance was given here,
Just this black abyss
And whats lost with its lasting sear
Upon whats left
And speaks with none
Of light and youth
A sun hidden run.
Here in this hand sits something
Now,
An emptiness
Once discovered, once found.
Let light leave,
Let soul dissapear,
And in the darkness
Hope for reappear,
And when hope does die,
As did this love,
I shall sit between
This low and high above,
And peer to where
Icannot see
In prayer that what has been lost
May find me.
