Desperate Wish

Desperate Wish Dreaming of clouds watching frigid rain enfold arid ground Disjointed thoughts embraced soothing translucent fingers Lightning unveils upheaval within brewing without a sound Eyes search for meaning demanding answers that matters My mind bathes in a quagmire of a premeditated reminder I was not the hero I pondered I might have been eons ago The more the heart races toward that impregnable frontier The lesser the value of such a desperate wish to not forego Edited: 10/31/2021 Penned on: 10/20/2021 5:40 p.m. Lake Worth, Florida USA

'Lightning unveils upheaval within brewing without a sound' This single line illustrates so much. The inner agony and the feeling of vacuity come upper most however hard one tries to push them back. Still one wishes to think himself that he has been a hero. A profound write Anselmo

Amidst turbulence, he looks back and tries to find something significant that he has done to pacify his heart, then realizes that there is nothing there worth claiming as a resounding victory, and yet he keeps insisting instead of letting go. That's the best description I can give. Thanks, Gershon...ab
