No More Eden

Thomas W Case



It's the continual
opening of the
eyes that disappoints,
not that sleep brings peace,
but it's the momentary
reprieve from life's
clenched fist, and
it's ruthless apathy.

Life is a toss of
the coin,
a roll of the dice.
Often, it's snake eyes.
As a kid, I always
thought that everything
would be alright.
Now I see the
randomness of
it all.

I'm always trying to
get back to Eden.
Sometimes, the
dreamer in me
forgets the futility.
The banishment is
forever.

    Sometimes that randomness takes us in the right direction Thomas, it certainly has for me.

        Very balanced in theme and content-May you find Eden in all beautiful thingsā€¦

      • John Prophet

        Life is so very far from Eden. Maybe someday. Nice work!
