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

 

mouse life running aimlessly hope fresh hope

◄ By the light of the local Spar

Her star ►

I like the form of this poet. It reads well. I also like poems that give a sense of possibility and hope.

Best wishes,
