The Longing… #Poetry

The Longing…

Time steals your dreams, if you let it

Hunger fills the hope of what once was

Every evening brings new dreams

Hope dances in and out of your thoughts

Longing leads you down new roads

Over strange tracks, where the ghost of yesterday wait

You remind yourself there are no ghosts

The tap on your shoulder, drags you to a dark place

A dim light illuminates a puzzle board

Choose wisely, these words are underlined

Each dream belongs to another

They are guaranteed to come true

Choose one, then leave your token at the door

If you dare…
