Going Nowhere Slowly

    Forever I walk in twilight
    gently teased by limp fingers
    of dawn's first light
    whilst cold black fear lingers
    between my wearied heart and mind.
    Wait! Here, before me I find:
    Corpses, alone in their ruin.
    I wonder what actions can be taken
    to avoid the solitary, soulless doom
    that befell these forgotten and forsaken.

    Sometimes...when I allow myself a grin
    a flash of light bursts through the dim
    and a roll of thunder cuts through the din
    and I think: “That’s it. I’m in.”

    But no. Echoes and facades:
    All omens belie fate.
    I've been had.
    I try, try, TRY not to feel hate.

    Somehow, I’ve learned to cope
    despite no end to misery in sight,
    despite the vacuum of no hope

    Forever I walk in twilight.

    poetry in motion. Very well put together.
