Anniversaries
A poem.
Published in
Feb 8, 2024
When the darkness offers rise to age-old demons and pain,
Like the full moon that draws in the flowing tide,
A storm rumbles from deep inside once again.
I’m paralyzed with tacit fear,
And cry alone in the night,
As another anniversary nears.
My craving for peace,
Is only a distant hallucination,
Of hope that remains unseen.
