End of an era

Dual histories of needs unmet
Attempts at a symbiosis
Unable to achieve a balance
Planets in collision

Efforts to walk in step
An alternate adjustment
Or a blending of hearts
Seems out of the question

Accusations are hurled
Faith is questioned
Trust disintegrates
Destruction is inevitable

I have struggled
with life as I know it,
I attempt to walk now
by myself, and for myself

"Thathaastu" -
a compound Sanksrit word meaning
"so be it"
