Another forever
blinks and bolts so fast it nearly
knocks me over in a desparate attempt
to flee
Leaving hope and trust destroyed
ripped and strewn in chaos
as the only reminder of it's presence
Storms simmering inside I
pause
choosing instead to
nail a "dead end" sign upon the path
One slam of the hammer to echo my thoughts
turning to survey outstretched roads in sight
for the stability of a possible
tomorrow

Sunset - thought provoking you write. Tomorrow is another day, and perhaps the sun will shine upon you...

I hope your heart leads you on a road that is smoother and never ends... This poem made me think a lot about life and how we put a dead end sign to parts we want to leave behind. Very well written. **big hugs**

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

Love this metaphor, think often of the "dead end" feeling we all get and how sometimes we have to make our own roads. This is indeed a powerful poem. You said a lot in a short verse.

I got the idea from reading this, that you went down a road, and, seeing that it came out to nowhere, doubled back and nailed the sign up so that you wouldn't go back down the same road. . .

just my own insight. . . you indeed have done well here. . . excellent. . .
