A Day…In The Life Of


today
didn’t look like rain
but puddles found the ground
and muddy water
still has a reflection
I am living
a hurry up and wait life
frustrated about the things
I can not change
running hard and fast
in the race in place
extraordinary dreams spill
openly from ordinary sleep
even there I want the truth
it is more for me a need
it is not so much
I am unhappy with myself
more of the choices made
puddles found the ground
didn’t look like rain
today

I love this - but then I alwsys do love your poetry.  I especially love the reflection of the beginning at the end.

"extraordinary dreams spill openly from ordinary sleep" So true when one has a need for truth.
