PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

So now comes a time

when the pain

has been replaced

by numbness





When a day

pass's before your mind

you struggle with the time

where forgiving

and forgetting

are not to be found





Fall will arrive shortly

seems as though

were only yesterday

that the future held promise

instead of doubts

of tomorrow





Perhaps you should have known

with all the signs you were shown

that tomorrow is today yesterday

you cannot win

or capture

the wind

my friend

and in the end

it really doesn't matter

that you cannot get any sadder





Tomorrow's trepidation

is your consolation

your shadow

follows you

wherever you go

wounds may heal

and someday you'll feel

peace and understanding winds blow
