Years

Stacked up

Sentinel like

A wall of defeat

On every side

Watching

Me

Microscopic me

Dictated to by giants

Running

The mouse on the wheel

No destination

A thirty year chasm is inside me

Ever famished

Its mouth is wide open

Wanting my surrender

Waiting for dominance

But......

A tiny crack has shown up

In the dam that holds back my future

Tiny 

Yet significant

My vision is fixed

I know you better than most john and now I think I get your poetry and truly see your direction at long last :)

I had to read it three times to fully appreciate the metaphors, and then it became a fine poem. IMO, the reader doesn't need to know what your vision is - it is yours only, and the poem is about the realization that you have one.

Nice one John. But what is your vision fixed on?

Love it! Many of us have been on that wheel John - and when you look back, it seems inconceivable that you ran for so long xx
