Living In Imagination

The shadows do their laughing dance. As I am lost in my own trance. With thoughts that only live inside. Reliving what has long lost died. The grass is growing thin with weeds. A garden planted with wrong seeds. Landscaping futures of deadly deeds. Possibilitie's not growing with the needs. I'm sorry, I dissappeared into the night. Reflecting only what is out of sight. My vision's beyond what is real. Far beyond what anyone can feel. Maybe someday the truth will come. And I won't sound so callous and dumb. Till that day , I'll just pray. That reality will finally come and stay.

I agree with Mark. You seemed to be lost as if the poem swallowed you up. I enjoyed the inward journey this took me on. Wonderful writing!

Lovely description with considerable depth that drew farther and farther in, and just then it ended, and I came back to my senses with no small amount of missing time.
