Ebbs and Flows

there was a moment when
my smile broadened 
and its radius found
joy in the distance
as the future became apparent.

there was a moment when
my smile dissolved
and its dissappearance wore
wounds of recollections
as a void became apparent.

there was a place where
my heart circulated warmth
and hope became a river over
which aspirations floated
as a life captured continuation.

there was a place where
my heart had drained
and vitality became an ideal over
which a fading mind mulled
as a life capitulated to a destiny.

there was a manner to how
my thoughts had succeeded
and pieces absorbed emotion while
recovery became probable
as a puzzle began to forge.

there was a manner to how
my thoughts had grieved
and lines drenched in confession while
silence became cries
as a piece began to forge.
