Left Behind

Mythos of hopeful dreams —

Fractured prisms through which

The mind conjures bridges

Pathways to a poppy-filled paradise

Domed beneath sunflower rays

Carrying the sillage of euphoria

Wrapped around time’s casual stride

And she follows close behind

Squirming to fit

In its oblivious shadow

Further away

From the looming darkness

Yet it finds her

As time strolls on

Yanking her back to the reality

Left behind

For dreams aren’t meant

To last forever

  1. Great poem! I especially like the lines “Yet it finds her / As time strolls on /Yanking her back to the reality.” It really resonated with me.
