Rushing forward,
pushing back
Light entrances,
then attacks
Preying darkness,
shadows hide
Lumined future
—demons cry

One Last Chance
Yesterday,
we freed ourselves…
divorced from one
another
Trading
forlorn bonded vows
for the chance
to be alone
Yesterday,
we said those things…
to never take
them back
Replacing
what the years have done
with promise
in the wind
