Fading Hope

[Poetry]

I have seen a sight

something not right

colors of grey

the sun is gloomy

like a malevolent friend

and the sky a friendly enemy

A sudden flutter

and a flight of birds

a hope

but they were flying away

a sign for me to leave

but how could I?

It is not a dream

not a nightmare

an endless chain

an infinite world

of loneliness

The birds are long gone

the sky darkens

grass feels cold

feet turn numb

I am still here

gazing upon the horizon

waiting for the night

Time is the only constant

everything changes

but you don’t realize

where the sun sets

and the night begins

Voices can be heard
but they haunt you
take you to the past
from where you came
moments ago

nothing can silence them

only I can move on

but the ground is cold

and my feet are numb

It is not a dream

not a nightmare

an endless chain

a world of infinity…
