Longing for an awesome from years gone by
leaves the taint of discontent on the status quo.
That impetus that now lies dead in the dirt
of past traumas and drama and all regret,
once fueled a struggling self esteem.
Energy and innocence of youth spent
rolling a boulder of bad choices uphill.
Only to arrive broken, tired and uninspired
to an age where life feels like just another chore
gathering dust as it waits to be done.
The monotony is disrupted in moments,
like memories, fleeting.
Joy is practically painful to the touch.
So tender as to render tears.
Priceless still.
Settling for a bed made
for sleeping dreams
and calling it contentment.

Hmm… This reads like a watercolor in the rain, Miss Lori.
I could have quoted the entire piece.

Please tell me it’s pure, unadulterated fiction...

It is...right

No, sadly it is not. However, it is a passing cloud. It is not where I live but a place that comes to visit uninvited. Not to worry, clouds never last forever and even when they linger they make for breathtaking sun sets and rises.

Toss this around, Miss Lori...and see if it makes a salad.
