Ben Potts Poet Rhyme

In the Silence of Time

In the silence of time
Tomorrow's unknown
Maybe I'll try
Maybe I won't

Dropping my pride 
I've struggled too long 
I feel it inside 
Solemn yet strong

I patiently wait 
Watching the tides
The lapping of waves 
Fighting my mind 

Walking to shore 
I look to the sand 
Wishing for more 
I tighten my hand

Stood on there own
These memories of me
And now I feel old
I just cannot see

For I didn't look 
And I ended up here
On the route that I took
Only darkness appeared

These demons of mine
Long do they wait
Frozen by time
Forever they stay

Where did I go?
It left me behind 
Floating ashore 
In the silence of time.


(Read in Reverse)

Dean Wood October 29, 2019 at 8:58 AM Another emotion-filled write. I kind of like it better in reverse. Very clever Ben!

Midnight Aurora October 27, 2019 at 4:57 PM Very good Ben. The fact that it reads backwards too is amazing. Not an easy thing to do. Ben Potts October 27, 2019 at 5:09 PM Nothing but love. Thank you from one soul too another.
