Reconciliation (Poetry feat. Thalassa Brytaye)
By Ashlyn Hayes and Thalassa Brytaye
A single breath holds the silence -
“Let’s just be friends,” he said.
I agree with light defiance
And then my hope is dead.
Wars have raged with much less passion
Than the fight burning within -
Heart and mind: their zeal and reason -
Nothing is as it should have been.
What should have been is far behind
All’s lost in final consummation.
Peace between my heart and mind;
I’ve made a reconciliation.
"Reconciliation" is the first poem my best friend, Thalassa Brytaye, and I have collaborated on. I think it turned out really well, and it is much better than I could have done with the idea on my own! She is a phenomenal poet and short story writer, so be sure to check out her work at her blog: brytaye.blogspot.com. Your day will be instantly improved by reading literally anything she writes!
