The Graying of Days

The graying of days Devouring of food becomes the filler ! Days healing rays, it’s light ever shorter ! Misty moments are becoming thicker ! Fog hangs heavy, becoming ever denser ! The rut I am in, becomes ever wider ! The grove I am stuck in, cuts ever deeper ! The abyss I am sinking into, ever bleaker ! The black hole I am sucked into. ever blacker ! The razor’s edge I walk upon, ever sharper ! It cuts ever deeper into the flesh, of my feet as I walk the tight rope of life, in my sleep ! Awake, I wonder why ?. I hang onto this life, a life that is going nowhere as I stand upon the keen edges of it, of a knife. A knife that seems to be in my own hand, wanting, for all intents, to cut me in two. During these moments, there is little I can do ! B. J. “A” 2 June 5th 2005

This poem reminds me of another one with the same theme, eding in "...and miles to go before I sleep/ and miles to go before I sleep." Oh but you've lived your life to the full, as you have previously mentioned... your graying days at least are full of memories...though others prefer to live it some other way...Wishing you a silver lining in your horizon...:D Kim
