Lost Maybe For the Best

I must accept the message, “You lost,”
I suppose in the nick of time.
The glow that I carried with hope
Has dulled, the sun gone away to hide.

Now that life is without you,
Days of illusions and dreams gone away,
I am gathered, kneaded upon a potter’s wheel,
Being shaped for another day
