dreaming to waking.

only one now, here and now.

the dark, dismal, and undone.

who is speaking, I cannot

fathom.

take me, make me bleed

and sigh and run.

too late, you cannot sow

this seed.

she has gone away,

away with the wind

and with the sorrow.

cracked

broken

scarred

and she does not know

if she is

dreaming or waking.

The author's comments:
I'm at a place in my life where I am feeling kind of stuck. Stuck in old patterns and routines, feeling slightly numbed. This is an attempt to communicate that.
