So uncertain and cold
along this stretch farewell
the last wave held until
arms cramp and reality sets
these stuttering legs in
motion

The descent requires soul
and must be done alone

so frail these stems
so empty this heart
what remedy to cure
the void?
Can I bear this space
filled anew?

looking back

how unclear paths taken
and fog has descended
obscuring any angled
view

I am frightened

cold

acutely aware that dreams
are no substitute for
simple truth

Sometimes in dreams we can touch on the truth which just goes to show that it really is a mixed up world.  Nice write.

this speaks of how the soul fights the right and wrongs of life...the ache of want and desire...even when we know it's wrong for us, and until we get it right....

absolute poetry

cold

I am so there, so sad, it feels like it's coming from all sides.

Lovely way you write, Tier~
