Lost in my reality,
Hope fades as I walk through this boggy ground,
Sodden underfoot, I slip.
Hands balanced my empty heart,
Cradles a mind lost in thought,
Treads careful in fear of falling, again.
Escape a trap to the fool who whispers,
Eyes open wide I see who falls beside me,
Words that are never forgotten, now ingrained.
Stillness fills the summer air,
Falls silent once more,
Knowing is all my questions answered.
Hopes fade,
Distant mile I walked,
Calling, but no one listened.
Captured to the blue hue,
Trapped but no one seemed to care,
For me.
Running in the circle of time,
Chased memories now tarnished ashes,
To the fire that once burnt so brightly.
Ended ....

I read it slowly and walked the path you are on and yes in the turn around their is silence then you hear your heart beat and know your still alive and as long as that heat beats you will find love .

Wow, This says it all on the subject (please help me I'm losing ground). The title, The beginning, the end... I especially like that last word. Paints an image of pure sadness.

The ache
And the need to cleanse & feel love & peace, But the running & darkness often overtake us
