In A Parallel Universe
in a parallel universe
there was no accident
you are still alive
and bound for old age
.
in a parallel universe
you are still there with us
lives lived together
a whole family
.
in a parallel universe
that cursed granite stone
remains un-mined
forever un-etched
.
in a parallel universe
I wasn’t forced to curse
a god or a trinity
for taking you from me
.
in a parallel universe
you found your happiness
the fates smiled on you
and you gloriously remain

This is wonderful and enigmatic!
Thank you, Doug! 🙂
Whew! This is powerful. Sharing now.
Thank you, Tikeetha! 🙂 You’re too kind.
I hope that parallel universe exists John…and who can say for sure that it doesn’t?
Very moving.
Thank you! 🙂 Let’s hope that it does. It’s great to meet you!
Just enough info to be clear, and just enough pain to be poignant.
Thank you, Mitch! 🙂
This was awesome. Loved it.

Excellent post!
Thank you, Alexandra! 🙂 It’s a pleasure to meet you!
I tried to buy a train ticket to Parallel Universe. They were all sold out. Too many folks wanting to go there to be with loved ones.
Thank you, Karen! 🙂 Wouldn’t that be great if we could zip over there and see them again? ❤
I read grief expressed through anger. The parallel opening lines add to the stark beauty of this poem.
e. e. cummings: “listen, there’s a hell of a good universe next door. Let’s go.”
Thank you, Alan! 🙂 You’re too kind. Cummings was right. It would be a whale of a ride and a fantastic adventure.

A powerful piece as ever, if only we could access this place as I’m sure they exist.
Thank you, David! 🙂 Someday maybe we’ll find a way to get there and we can go on the greatest adventure man has ever known.
As long as it’s in our heads then it bears some reality anyway
Literally and Scientifically……..A parallel universe exists very next to us- yet invisible! Thanks for a beautifully woven poem of thoughts. Poetry with a touch of philosophy, ambiguity and Science- https://atheneronin.wordpress.com/
Thank you, Valluva! 🙂 I’ve read some things about the possibilities of parallel universes and it is fascinating. It’s great to meet you!
And here, in your heart, this person also remains. Clearly… Beautiful poem, John! Poignant, painful, a little wistful, and deeply moving. Impossible to read it, and not “be” in it…
Thank you! 🙂 You’re right. They remain with me and always will.
Lovely and tragic.
Thank you! 🙂 It’s a pleasure to meet you!
Likewise. 😀

Reblogged this on Crazy Pasta Child.
Thank you for the reblog!

Thank you! 🙂 You’re too kind. It’s a pleasure to meet you!
I will be back to visit soon, I read a bit and then skimmed a lot…couldn’t get to where I could leave a comment. Which reminds me that I want to put a comment box higher up in my own blog. 🙂
I think that’s a WordPress setting that typically will require the first comment from someone to be approved. Now that you’ve commented, you’ll be able to do so without any approval. Sometimes their settings can be a bit strange.
I think it weeds out some of the undesirables.
It does find undesirables on occasion and it’s also helped me to find some spammers who run from blog to blog leaving links to questionable websites.
So very moving.
Thank you! 🙂
Great imagination on this one John!
Loved it 🙂
Thank you! 🙂 It’s great to meet you!
This is beautifully written.
Thank you! 🙂 It’s a pleasure to meet you!
