I remember all of the firsts
I remember all of the lasts
It’s crazy all the events
That fill up the simple dash
The freshness of the news
And the painful memories of the olds
Makes the mind wander
All Within the dash
What once fill those empty spaces
Filled with love & promise
Now collect in severe wounds
It’s all in the dashes
All the joyous I love your
Turns to grieving losses
all within the dash
With anticipated butterflies
Fades like smoke rings
Exhilarating bright horizons
Become saddened silence
Right there within the dash
Full faith in what’s to come
Reveals suspicious conclusions
Tender hand holding
Concludes to backs turned
This is a reminder to be conscious
Aware and present
All within the dash
