Taking It Back

Tom Dylan


Notice of absence from Tom Dylan
Sorry if there is a delay in responses. Sometimes life gets in the way. As John Lennon said, life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.

I’m taking back my books

and the bands we shared,

taking back the music,

the memories of the gigs.

The meals we enjoyed in restaurants

become a table for one in my mind.

I am taking it all back.

I am standing on the beach

we once walked along together,

and drawing a line in the sand,

and staking a claim

on the past

my present,

my future

and myself.

    Relationships like the sand leave marks that with time are faded and erased but memories remain and fade more slowly. A strong write about a decision made and a present to live. Well done Tom
