Reflection
In youth I’ve glimpsed
But with age comes constraint
Days disappear as I stay in time.
Yesterday I played
Outside with my friends
Today they are gone,
Dead, alone….
__
A black mist swirls
And tempts my anger.
A bloody heart squeezed
Tight in my fist.
An unquenchable thirst
A desire to lust
To be free to enjoy
To taste the delights…..
__
But then I play,
Its yesterday,
Outside in the yard
With my friends……

interesting poem…the journey from light to dark and back once again….that temptation is there each day to rob us of that play.
