Living In Imagination

The shadows do their laughing dance.
As I am lost in my own trance.
With thoughts that only live inside.
Reliving what has long lost died.

The grass is growing thin with weeds.
A garden planted with wrong seeds.
Landscaping futures of deadly deeds.
Possibilitie's not growing with the needs.

I'm sorry, I dissappeared into the night.
Reflecting only what is out of sight.
My vision's beyond what is real.
Far beyond what anyone can feel.

Maybe someday the truth will come.
And I won't sound so callous and dumb.
Till that day  ,    I'll just pray.
That reality will finally come and stay.

I agree with Mark. You seemed to be lost as if the poem swallowed you up. I enjoyed the inward journey this took me on. Wonderful writing!

Lovely description with considerable depth that drew farther and farther in, and just then it ended, and I came back to my senses with no small amount of missing time.
