second chance

The silence hangs like a damp fog in the quiet misty air,
I long to hear your voice, soothing, reassuring, deeply caressing me, but I wonder, do you even care?
Now our friendship is strained, unfamiliar, how and where do
we go from here?
I feel used, betrayed, taken advantage of, as I hastily wipe
away a tear.
We had such a friendship with promise so completely lovely and rare,
Now it is just a heap of ashes smoldering, dying not even a
glimpse of a flare.
I long for comfort, release from this rejection, a reality too well known,
And yet being sadly familiar, this rejection has found a
comfortable place in the dark recesses of my home.
But somehow even in the deadness of winter there breathes
a hope of life again stunningly new,
there lies beneath the muggy obscure death a glorious
resurrected..... us two......................

This is an awesomely written poem. The beggining and point of poem are vivid. However, the end, I got lost, what did I miss ? . Thanks for sharing.

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
