This Life.

Drifting within the shadows of time,

Feeling every heartbeat beneath the weathered skin,

Crushed by the emptiness within my soul,

Drowning in tears of despair,

But....

I am alive,

Clinging onto distant dreams,

Wrapped in memories of times long forgotten,

Walking in the footsteps of those souls who came before me,

Sensing time as it slips away,

Grain by grain.

Shivering in the cold winds of change that claw at my conciousness, 

Waiting for this life to renew itself once again.

    This brings to mind a pheonix rising from the ashes...of course, I'm just strange, but I really enjoyed this. Your poem has a kind of whistfulness about it that I can relate to on some levels. It flows very well and I could visualise the imagery here very easily. Thanks for sharing this, and taking the time to enter my contest,

    Luck.
