An Endless Chase

Endless Chase

Dreams broken
Anthills of fear lurking
Failing forward
Nothing to lean on
The walls crack
Sorrows rack
Musing dryness
Patience
Paling
Oceans of nothingness travailing
Hopelessness hatching
Triggers pulling
Death beckoning
Casket lower
Thresholds folding
Priest dusting dust
Vanity looming
Eternity an endless chase...

this is sad, profound and full of feeling. I hope it is not a chase into eternity because that would be more than we could bear, dear poet!
