Graduation Grabs You from Behind

June 24, 2020

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is graduation.

I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com .

A graduation poem about the apparent unreality of the moment:

Graduation grabs you from behind.
Reality seems suddenly unreal,
A timeless moment somehow trapped in time,
Drowning in a feeling you can't feel.
Ultimately, when the day is over
And you are left alone with who you are,
The moment will be something to remember,
In which you feel your feelings from afar.
Only now too much is happening.
Nor can you keep your heart from wandering.
