The light creeps in,
my eyelids failing as a shield.
A reluctant noise escapes my throat,
I lost my past with sleep,
magically found it when I woke.
There is no escape,
only a slight reprieve.
As nights become mornings,
mornings nights,
I lose hold of all control,
what I never had at all.
Glimmers of hope,
dreams flying away.
Tomorrow brings possibilities,
yesterday sweeps in,
with memories of what can never be.

yes, aa good capture of the quandary we find ourselves in at time... we can't go back, and going forwqard to tomorrow or possibilities is often blocked by us..and how we have shaped our past or the things we can't yet let go of...

enjoyed ma'am.....

Captivating and introspective. Don't let the past influence any new dawn!

Love,

Good one. The cycle of life move's quickly,
best to make the most of it.
