An Awakening

An Awakening 


Old
And aged
Photographs 
Faded of hue
Memories of the 
Distant past awakens 
Haunting possibilities 
Of what could have been, so we lose
Ourselves in a place that does not 
define us in our complexity 



Bent, torn, stained and covered in fingerprints   
The thrill is gone, our heads are bowed 
Down as the valley is low in
The deep jungle where freedom 
Is skill and survival 
Arrows shoot targets 
Hit the bullseye 
Bang what good 
Shot and
Aim
