Blink of an eye

Poetic Dan

I know I'm not the only one
Who can sit in a car and cry

 

Especially when it all
Passes in the blink of an eye

 

Flickerings of what was
Mixed-up with what is

 

Unable to truly live
Why be around this

 

Overwhelming thoughts reside
Never ending soberless nights

 

Sometimes I wonder if it's right
To listen to the heart and mind

 

For this vibration is disorientating me
Confused on the "who" I want to be

 

Knowing it is all I need in my hand
Yet slipping through as grains of sand

 

Counting it as falls to the ground
Time becomes an unbearable sound

 

Lost in the construction of this
A reality I just can not drift

          Is it right to listen to the heart and mind. ??? You pose as a question here.

          You've discovered there is a poet in you. And a very truthful, sincere soul shines out of your writing. Writing worth reading and learning from.... learning from a man who is so sincere he exposes his frailty to us readers. That in itself is a lesson in humanity.
          You, me, and most others here have no option but to listen to our hearts and minds. See my poem today Dan.... it's what you are... it's what you do.... and you do it well.

            Your words feel like they are building me up or helping glue my thoughts together. I now look forward to seeing your post today, I'm sure your going to capture what I'm missing and do perfectly what it is we do.
            Write what ever we need too 😉

            The time ahead of you may be a struggle but each hill climbed, each corner turned and each door opened will lead you to the light of experience which opens up your wonderful world in front of you.
