Letter to No One











The end of the day and the minute’s crash together, the hours fall like dominoes

Midnight rushes in to the vacuum, swallowing the waking hours

Just then, in that brief pause between chaos and silence

I add up the days


Sometimes the days stretched like elastic, appearing invincible

Laughter and friends walked hand in hand across time

Those are remembered like roses, full blown and eager

Precious as rubies, those days


Lately the days have weaved in and out, warp and weft of my life

Carrying news on the hours, cloaked in apprehension and fear

Everything in my world seems destined for change

A tapestry in darkest of hues


Cresting the minutes, biding the hour, here I find you, no one at last

My hand stretched in welcome, I bid you come in

Sit here beside me, lost in memory’s dark grasp

Together we’ll ride out the storm
