Hear Today, Here Tomorrow

Posted on October 3, 2011 | 8 Comments

What have I lost that motivates me?
My smallest delights have all been cut free
Where is that spark that used to shine?
That lit up the future that used to be mine

Fingertips slip clawing up the wall
As the floor underneath begins to fall
Nothing from heaven comes from above
Not even feathers from the wings of a dove

Words collapse as interest wanes
Attention is as short as the lessening pain
Lethargy sets in quickly barely able to finish
The void swallows whole as I diminish

The signs of despair. It cannot be happening. There are lots of goodness the future holds!
Great write, Mike!
