Michael Thompson Poet Free verse

I Walk In the Twilight

I walk in the twilight …

in that in-between place which separates 
the darkness from the light …


That place where colors and dreams are 
washed out into differing shades of gray …

and they slowly fade away into the nothingness 
of what was …
 
disappearing from the future of what could 
have been …


Where the ghosts of lost friendships and 
lost loves are my only companions …

the weight of despair is crushing my soul 
with a cold indifference …

and a feeling of hopelessness engulfs all …
