Lost Sparkle

The Retired Bloke

Storms on a sunny day

Flooding my emotions

With darkened skies

Clouds wanting to burst

To relieve uncontrollable pressure 

The measure of which 

I cannot easily convey 

The weight of expectation 

Pressing down on my burdened shoulders

It demands  attention but I can only ignore

I turn away from the light

Towards the magnetic misery 

Of a soulless existence. 

Frightening in its solitude

Each single source of inspiration 

Stamped out like an out of control firework

A fading glow a lost sparkle

    That day may be bad but be assured that the light is always there for you, just turn back towards it.

      Just writing about it was the only therapy I needed.
