Distant Conversations

Season 2, #9: You'll understand too late.

Up late, (later than I should be)
Knowing well when you rise.
And I’ll rise too, regardless.

So I can gaze on
As you crest the horizon,
In little glittering inches,

Shining into the dark
Alone; Finding your way 
In your world.

My hopeful messages 
Lost in the space between us
- we are lightyears apart.

And when my signal
Finally filters through,
Many ages hereafter,

Having traversed
The wide chasm
Between our generations,

You’ll understand too late,
And peer back
Into the vast darkness,

And wonder; 
What could I have done then?
What should I do now? 

If you like it, share it!

Thank you so much for reading my work. It means a huge amount to me to have even 1 minute of your time, let alone the attention needed to read and understand these words. If you like what you see tell other people about it - it is the absolute best way to support me and my work and I would appreciate it hugely.
