PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

life's plan slivers branching out in so many directions its frightening

reminding me that I have never been in control

once upon I had thought time was on my side
but days have moved through the seasons of my life
so quickly I am left mouth agape

my dreams which use to be the catalyst of my life's breath
now lay wilted and withered along the wayside

...beyond saving

like callas lilies dying slow deaths
 beneath an Arizona August sun
and that burden weighs heavy upon my heart
as a life come undone

many moons before there was hope
birthed in a tiny spark
seen innocently shimmering beneath
a pile of rubble
but too many hours lost in wait
and longing
reveals more truth than one simple heart can bare

the luster of wonder has dimmed
within the realization
that sparks can be beautiful
but unless they are kindled to flame
they are just shooting stars
riding out the night

glimpses of possibility
turning heads within their mystery
but then they are gone

lessons come with age
things like
don't tether your destiny
to the glistering fate of a falling star
and
live moments full and with passion
never waiting  for tomorrow to come
because we all know

Tomorrow Never Actually Comes
