forgotten isle
I did not mean to forget
but the years have a way
of hiding that which should be visible
like storms concealing waves
so very close to shore
will you ever forgive me
after forgetting to keep you in mind
having skipped away
from one stone to the next
testing the limits of time
it’s not that I’ve been lost before
but this time must be real
as if exiled on a forgotten island
where neither moon nor sun
shall no longer call me friend

Yes, I can relate. We sometimes take for granted what we have won
yes we do
This is so beautiful!!
Thank you. Mona!
