Premium Member A chink started it

Listen to poem:
One tipple too far,
barely enough to notice
made the first tile sound—
morning lost its clean edges
as choices became fuzzy.

The path did not break,
it merely curved a little
toward softer ground—
resolve missed a few heartbeats
dominoes fell step by step.

By dusk the tale unfolded,
not a great calamity—
a trail of slip-ups
from loose threads left ungathered
that slowly unstitched the day.

Chink of Light

You must never give up keep carrying on 

Ignore what’s behind you forget it its gone 

Rise above it all your bigger and stronger 

It won’t be easy and the road will seem longer 

But the further you get and the further you travel 

Things will get better they will start to unravel 

And when things start to fall into place carry on your fight

And one day you will see it  

The first chink of light
