midnight crossing

[nevadasky]

at night alone I wake to
silhouettes on the walls of
ghosts
pointing empty sleeves

I sit up startled at my own
shadow
as the rumpled sheets map

the peaks and valleys of
my life
illuminating parts of me
I want so much to
forget

sleep, a stranger, forces me
to view into a giant
chasm
with no end in sight
only miles of regret using
up all that I
am

I turn to face my mortality
grasping pieces that try to
fly away
as my spirit is challenged
to an infinite
depth

putting my courage on display
I become stronger at the
broken places

no longer allowing
yesterday
to use up anymore of my
tomorrows

Wow, I love your style of writing.
This is beautiful in all its tragic gloom.
it really captures my attention and
yearns to be read.
Awesome flow and wording,
nevada, this is stunning.
