Atop probabilities
as possibilities play
on corridors of conscience
to leave mayhem behind
and limbs loiter limply
as eyes flash to and fro
mind meanders confusion
through clever goodbyes.
Brown-rimmed beliefs
skim sorrow and spread
over beads of perspiration-
as determination's guest
and doors slam
disabled,
in once able gaze,
as the way to approval
lights logic...with ease
and the click-click
of care
wipes despair with its moans
as feelings flicker sideways
with feather-like flare.
Soul drifts through misfortune
in memory's motes,
where a slow song of sadness
blows wild with woe's winds
and regrets tumble meekly
from their weakened escape,
as reality rests softly
on priority's hinge.
