the news jolted my brain like a roundhouse kick upside my head
sapping my strength and evacuating the very oxygen from my lungs
your words, though not totally unexpected, still left me reeling
i walk away with a puzzled expression, shaking my head, mumbling under my breath, feeling a sense of bereavement
saddened at the sight of this bejeweled dream now stillborn, unrealized, wasted - an opportunity lost
but i refuse to dwell on the might-have-beens
pausing for a moment of sad remembrance i then fix a hopeful gaze futureward
tomorrow's bright sunrise will shine forth with a promise of new beginnings and new dreams imparted
my prayers are with you - fare thee well my sister, my friend
