I Am Not

invisible

insignificant

impudent

ignorant…

 

 

Fading..

falling

failing

flailing

against the current..

 

97162D9D-B1CC-45C0-A23E-E5CC2CE906B7.png

clinging..

clawing

crying

to the darkness…

8B0C0278-BBD3-48F5-844C-0A7FAD8C1723

     you win!

The light within

slowly dies,

not by the sword

 

C5DF2329-B002-4E2F-A1A8-F1453266AC62

 

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…

 

81ADEF46-CE44-49B5-9503-2FFAF06FB813

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

DA6D6182-8665-4EB9-BF3A-C5D4F433CC3D

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.
