MICRO POETRY
GRAINS OF LIFE
by Davidw
* My heart plays a dangerous game with me. It makes me walk the tightrope between resolve and sacrifice. The distance saturated with tears and loosely strung. * Suffering through the heat The heart resilient as the sand I measure each grain against you My falling * I feel the reach And flowery thoughts They caress me from afar And still I can feel Their delicate touch * I can feel the gaze Of so many beautiful faces Those that have left a mark Those who’ve left their traces * I wonder of the little fires I have started how many still smolder? Do they still warm the hearts of those who’ve collected their embers or have they become as cold as forgotten memories? * I'm good. And when I'm finally finished, I'll be great.
