Shadows of Reality

Shadows on the ceiling,

Spreading over the walls,

Products of a string of light,

where darkness took its toll.

***

Hopes and memories unleashed,

On an unexpected world,

Threaten the false sanity,

Of a numbed-out, dried-up core.

***

Fragile we are my friends,

With a false sense of control,

When a simple gush of wind,

Could simply break our hold.

***

Conceited in our belief

In an everlasting world

For today is just a delusion

When tomorrows’ reality draws.
