When the fog settles in
The street lights
Glow a little wider.
Up that hill
Just ahead
I see my way,
It’s not clear.
The red lights disappear
Flat, on the horizon line.
I’m left wandering,
Will I?

Days like this bring much thought of where life will go. At least for me. What about you?

Always, and I’m notorious for living in the past or future…constantly trying to find the present ❤️.

Me too. The past creeps in whether it’s PTSD or nostalgia and the wonder of the future to come. Kind of makes you wonder how to move in the present.

I’m absolutely trying, but all of it together is what makes us, us :). It’s almost like we have to remember the past to make the best decisions in the future, but now is when it’s all happening…whoa. I’ve just thrown myself for a loop ;). Life is hard and beautiful, I say we just try our best ❤️

And you are totally right. As for throwing yourself for a loop do you mean you’ve confused yourself or come to epiphany and realized something through your own words?

Lol! I guess talking about time (past, present, future), I feel I’m talking in circles…I don’t know what’s best because you can’t have one without the other…

I was just sitting in a parking lot, waiting and I noticed. The rest is what came from the image. Can you picture it, or no 😊?

Hey, Doree! Sorry I was a little late to see your poem. I love that you have the courage to share your feelings with the world! I sometimes wish I had that power too.

Hazel, No one’s ever late, in my book ;). Thank you so much for your kind words ☺️, they truly are humbling. Courage is something I’m still working on everyday. I bet you’ll find whatever your looking for, if you can just let go. Hugs ♥️ DoRee

I just started this and don’t really know where to start… I hope that we can exchange poems in the future, because I like to write them too.
