Life

By Defallene Engel

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I've been there before Can you see it? Can you feel it? The sting of life Slapping against your face The bitter chill When the sun is so low You wonder if it's sleeping Nestled in the clouds Turned pink, orange, yellow, red... Does it sooth you? Laying alone in bed The blue light of the moon Spreading across your bedsheets Do you take comfort In such worldly delights? Little moments that collect Like dust in an full room The memoires of a life A single life Left to be forgotten Among the buzzing society Have you stood here before? Taking the moment to remember That one falling leaf The shiver when you stepped outside The glimpse of stars In a city full of lights The kiss on a cheek From someone you take for granted Have you noticed The dust has blown away Because you were too busy... ...Living Written November 7th, 2001 © on Nov 07 2001 12:40 AM PST   18 • 0 • 10
