The ache


Image by Rob Myers from robmyers.org

I surprised myself with this question

to my friends:

‘What will happen to these conversations?’

In another two weeks we would be gone

our separate ways.

The same kind of ache I had felt

After I came out the last time

The Board room in which

I had met friend and foe for

A score of years.

There are many ways of

Assuaging a distressed mind,

They say. But the pang….

Is real. The heart that aches

Is blessed in its throb.

I have learnt not to muffle.
