"time after time"
somewhere between yesterday and today
time after time this road was traveled
lost in limbo lost in pain lost in a storm
with wrong decisions and unsuitable choices
somehow the fog and path to lost mounted
a new day began as yesterday endlessly shadowed
mind body and soul have been overtaken
such a cloud of darkness took its reign
further and further deeper and deeper
suddenly out of the blue with grace
thoughts cleared as the heart began to beat
somewhere from this day came everlasting sun

note:
good morning all
please consider this a dedication to anyone going through hard times
life and stress can truly take a toll on mind body and spirit
may this day find you well
some thoughts other than nature or love
thank you
may you all endure
may the sun shine
Days falling into shallow dreams
I sleep again and fall for empty needs
My movements guided by these strings
I’m stitched to life and I’m dying for some wings
Can’t recall why I am worth more than my death
My reasoning delights in my last breath
But something twists my mind for you
I want it dead, but there is not much I can do
Nights lifting me within my hands
And now there is just nothing I can stand
If this is what I need to be
Then why is the pain building inside me?
Still circling down an idle hole
I have no thoughts, other than the love I sold
Is there something that can end the loss I feel?
But then again, this is only something the end reveals
Testing me upon an empty floating isle
My love has died and the dead spread out for miles
I’m writing notes and sending them to earth
To ease the pain, I will spread beauty from this curse
