    hum

    i heard you speak my name, it dissolved like smoke into the sky

    there are things I never told you, like how I saw you die

    and how i saw you put back together, with hands not mine

    and there you stood much taller, not with my words, his mind


    and i am fine
    and i am fine


    i am here to stand alone, in a completely new direction

    i no longer need a hand to hold, no longer need affection

    alone i will walk, stripped of the past, this is my lesson

    moving forward, not looking back, i've only one confession


    that nothing lasts
    that nothing lasts


    i alone am the sea to become
    tides to breath
    death to hum

    and i am fine
    that nothing lasts

    I like the imagery in the last 5 lines. Some of your best work so far....

    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
