Dreams, you know, they don’t always work out. Sometimes they shatter or even explode.
Kaboom!
In your face and all you have left behind is the
debris. Charred fragments of your heart
scattered across what we call ground zero
now.
Yeah that’s where we are and it’s not a pretty sight. You stand there wondering how do you ever survive
this? This wasteland of shattered dreams
built with your sweat and blood. Might
as well pack up and go home now.
But in the midst of that rubble you see it, that delicate ethereal
piece radiating beauty. Hope springs
anew.
Hey! I am back again after missing the last few editions after having surgery on my hand for Carpal Tunnel. In some ways it was good to get a break from typing away at a keyboard and have an excuse to watch TV. My entry this week is probably not fiction but more like hundred words of musing.
