Fields of yesterday

 


As I look across

the fields of yesterday

I see days spent

aching in private pain,

under my own storm clouds

filled with acid rain.

I see smiles washed away,

clogging drains with misery.

I see the perfect become

just faded stories,

lost in imperfect memories.

 

As I look out at the sea of immediacy,

I see waves as high as trees

crashing into the islands of my sanity,

slowly wearing it away,

saltwater decaying my brain,

or are they washing clean the hurt

that sometimes clouds me?

I wonder is this what rebirth feels like?

All that pain slowly being taken away,

or is it lining up worse for me?

Wiping my slate clean

to draw more scars

that will line my skin.

 

As I look across

at mountains of tomorrow,

I wonder, if I fall will it hurt more

than the climb before?

But if I don't climb then

I'll never find that pathway

to get to the right door.

I'll be stuck here,

mountains shading my view.

Only able to dream of you

and all that could have come true.

 

As I glance

into the forest of forever,

I wonder,

will my dreams come through.

If I was to enter the shades,

would I see passing days

with us passionately embraced?

Always finding a stray sunbeam

upon which we can stay,

and will our nights

be spent side by side

watching the moon

through lovers eyes?

 

I step away,

I don't want

to ruin the surprise.

For wherever

my leaves fall

in the forest of evermore

Will be where

I was supposed to be

after all.
