Shutter for Tomorrow

233 37 36
                                    

Bright fluorescent lights flicker on and off above me;

My thought process distorted.....

The flickering of light causing breaks within
the deep recesses of my mind.


                         The Shutter of my Eyes
            Leave behind residue of lost thoughts.

Frail attempts are made at recapturing what has been lost;

             Comparable to trying to recount a dream;
Dreams forever lost to the reality of life as one awakens;

But then I slowly let go of these cold feelings of past thoughts I can't recapture;
                        their frigidness had left me emotionally numb,
       now replaced by a sensation of warmth coursing through my veins......

                             .....motionless for a second.....
                    I've had enough time to gather perspective.
          I then precede to peek out from within the cove of my brain,

                                           staring forward....

                                              Letting go....

                             Jumping off this cliff of sorrow,

                        Falling towards a Hopeful tomorrow.
