Blind Time
I …
spent my
wild young life
always looking ahead
to the brightness
so much so
that I couldn’t see
the bounty I held -
the joy, the blessings
family … love
now -
I spend most time
looking back
because of how much
I’ve lost
to the darkness …
so much so
that I’m losing sight
of all that I have
and all that
STILL …
could be.
