The days pass

Like judges in solemn robes

Ominous and obscene

Maya

Three seasons have passed since I last traveled these gloomy roads

A new winter embraces the world in its silent yearnings

With each mile my limbs grow weaker, my breath heavier, my vision darker.

My last pilgrimage to where I left you

Deep in far mountains, too far now for my failing body to reach.

For all eternity you were with me

But now even eternity has betrayed us

Even more than death betrayed us

My heart is becoming one silence with your heart

Still and forever apart.

John A. Youril (2023)

In the cold twilight
When your eyes become one with the clouds and the stars
And my still breath settles in your unbeating heart
Still we dream
Alone
Dreaming of our dreaming.

John A. Youril (2023)
