Little Bits

Stop the Journey? (poetry; Sad; CMC)

Yes, I remember, long ago,
In mind's eye still I see
My friends and I adventuring:
A time when we were three.

Those days are gone, no more are we
A trio bound as one:
Though memories shall never fade,
Crusading days are done.

Sometimes I dream about it still:
That carefree, far-off youth
When all of us, in friendship, sought
To find eternal truth.

Time waits for nopony, of course,
And nothing can I do
But wait till we are three again,
Adventuring anew.

Author's Note:

Another contest entry, and another second-placed entry! This time, it was for Weekly Contests #13. This required authors to write a poem with the prompt "numbers". If you want an explanation as to what is going on here, it's this: the longest-surviving of the CMC, lonely in solitary old age, takes comfort both in remembering her youth and, at the last, in looking forward to being reunited with her friends in the Great Beyond.

Wow, that was a hit right in the feels... But very well written. I like this kind of poetry, and it is a nice sadfic.
Reminds me of the intro of Legend of Korra, when Katara told that Aang and Sokka were gone
