epiphany
It happened upon
A yesterdays whim
In my mind it shall never
Leave again
A quest for innocence
Juxtaposed
The ambient thorns
Midst a sightless rose
That should stand and fight
Or run away
Or live to love
Another day
Giving in to fear
This thief of breath
And take the cold
Embrace of death
But even then
I could not see
How fighting, or running
Or dying could be
A road to take
Tween this game of lives
That all shall play
Yet none servive
Forgetting that life
Is in between
The darkest horror
And the sweetest dream
It happened upon
A yesterdays whim
In my mind shall never
Leave again

Forgetting that life

The darkest horror
And the sweetest dream
It happened upon
A yesterdays whim
In my mind shall never
Leave again

Beautiful. As always, you speak to my heart. So many wonderful lines!
"Forgetting that life
Is in between
The darkest horror
And the sweetest dream"
So true. We must hold onto all those moments in between and remember that the other is sure to come back around.
This is so sad, and yet there is a realization there.

Geez, I thought you weren't writing, and now I see I wasn't following you, when I thought I was.
Love this by the way. Great flow, and nice rhyming. Love your message here too.
