Flash-Backs
I had a dream where nothing
was what it seemed.
It was dark and then too bright
and all my words left my mind.
I saw a bright beam where
everything was what I’d
deemed.
The darkness fell over the
shadows and swallowed
everything that was kind.
The light fled and tomorrow
was a treasure I just knew I
had to find.
Yesterday was lost and
everyone stood with a great
amount in cost.
It was sad and it was glad, but
everyone threw it up for a toss.
Passing through time with
glimmering bright lights,
Where were the dark lonely
nights?
Flash-backs timing the tracks
as most folks fell through tiny
little cracks,
Each one flashed back on top
of crumpling down broken old
stacks.
Then it was cold and then it got
hot.
Today was here and being
blotted out like a tiny black
dot.
Flash-backs and flash-backs
sending millions tracks of light
to never forget me not.
