In The Absence of Light

Accidental Poet



 

In the absence of light

I lay in bed waiting

For a full night’s sleep

Haunting, but still evading

 

Thoughts racing to nowhere

Round and round in my brain

Maybe just a bad dream

Or am I’m slowly going insane?

 

Sometimes I forget where I’m going

For thinking bout where I’ve been

Moving forward is all relative to

 A point of reference of where and when

 

Decisions for the future

Analysis of the past

The gravity of destiny and chance

My life from an unintended cast

 

So many people living

The life they were meant to

Happy and carefree

Naturally, they found their groove

      Sorry Orchi, I can't hear you with these ear plugs in. Thanks for reading though. 😁

      • orchidee

        Thanks AP. lol. I had an absence of light. The light bulb blew, then I fell down the stairs in the dark. Here's an impression of it: '*Aarrggghhh!* Good acting innit?! lol.

        • Accidental Poet

          Awesome acting Orchi. Can you do that again for me?

          • orchidee

            I will have to fall down the stairs again. Doh! Was that you switched off the light bulb when I was going downstairs? lol.

            • Accidental Poet

              I thought that switch was for the ceiling fan. OOPS. 🤔

              A.P.,

              Happy…but not so carefree
              …at least for me!
              These words of mine ⬆️⬆️
              may sound like an oxymoron,
              but not so much for me.
              I’ve learned to live and make the best of whatever comes my way.
              I’m my humble opinion,
              living in misery and/or feeling sorry for oneself is futile.

              Thank you for sharing your wonderful poem.
