omega sunset

Omega sunset

 

 

I used to think I knew everything

But that everything has now faded into something

and that something seemingly to nothing.

I grasp at worn out memories

of actions I have done in the past

but they cannot sustain me, they cannot last.

In the end I will ask myself what I have learned

from this experience this life

this strange ever changing free flowing life.

I drift in endless circles trying to find an identity

trying to be the man I cannot be

but he lives somewhere deep inside of me.

I am challenged everyday to come out fighting

but I find life frightening.

but one day I want to see myself come out as fast as lightening.

However as life gives out dawns it also gives out sunsets

regrets the taste of bitter seeds of weeds within our hearts and minds

and when my days have past an on that last omega sunset

will I see myself wiser than when I began?

when I was a child and not a man

when the sun rose on my life

when I was a bright light seeking brighter lights still

and learning what it was like to shine brightly

and having the will to do so and to grow!

Nice poem Daniel.
particularly like the lines of going round in circles trying to find an identity, trying to be the man i cannot be. he lives somewhere deep inside of me.
Great lines.
