invisible
insignificant
impudent
ignorant…
Fading..
falling
failing
flailing
against the current..
clinging..
clawing
crying
to the darkness…
you win!
The light within
slowly dies,
not by the sword
but the word..
so many words-
cruel
careless
cold
callously bold.
beware!
This life
so fragile
fickle
fleeting…
ephemeral beauty
in hand
so quickly slips away…
as a child’s blown bubble,
lost on the winds
of desperation..
salvation
for the weary
bleary
teary eyed dreamer.
we seldom recognize magnificence until it is gone..
we are not forever in this dream,
nightmare
illusion
confusion
of the soul.
Will you say you know me
on the far side of eternity?
Will you even recognize my face
in that strange, exotic place
of forgotten sorrows?
I wonder….
I am the piece that
doesn’t fit
the square peg
in a sea of round
holes.
I shall not forget,
never regret
that we met-
once more.
