Lost in dreams, dark mind and jumbled song
take a moment to lock it all away
The shattered mirror casts these shadows wrong
discarded light is taken from the day
I seem to fumble, searching for a rhyme
better to fall apart than search for dark
Harder to fade away as hands steal time
breathing, winter burns the landscape stark
Lost respect can never be regained
as the bitter winds that catch enthrall
A simple dream can turn you from the end
and sometimes letting go can stop the fall
When poems break apart within the norm
a life is somehow found, restrict in form
