Past Image

Looking into my mind’s eye

and seeing a montage of my life.

But like a candle flame in the wind it was

all unstable and distorted

Everything seemed like a winter’s night where

darkness lingered for longer and thus the darkness with me

 

Too much

That’s what my mind ended up screaming to me

as I find myself surrendering to my knees

 

A sudden yearning for soft lullabies which had

been dormant for so long comes over me as a slow realisation

comes to light that I won’t be dancing like Greaves and splendid isolation

is simply a mirage as my life’s quest to break my own Pangaea goes on for longer still

A lot of emotion and thoughts in the poem.

Sometime a lullaby can calm the soul down. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

the only thing that i could imagine what would evoke such feelings would be regret and longing for redemption.
