Slices of Time (1)

1.
I waft untethered;
Drowning in empty space
Hunted and haunted by fugitive feelings
That ache to be found, and made real

Joy was once flippant-
A moment divine, swinging from a twine
Playing with florid stories
A carefree time

Joy now bodes an end-
Suspended in grime, slinging some slime
Heaving with morbid melodies,
A dreaded time.

I waft untethered;
Consuming slices of time
A repertory of all that was, and will be
Moments sublime, and moments bleak

What’s on my mind- who’s to say?
What are the songs I’ll sing today?
Flowing waters and glowing embers
Which way will you take me today?
