Images Unending memory From a finite time Pleasures rebuilding In an unsettled mind Images like red at night Had little meaning Lived in a moment's time Uncertainty awakened Happenstance designed Fantasies now my delight Though daydreams seldom More than empty plans Satisfy realness Common senses left behind Images like red at morning More frequent growing To pathetic fallacies Creating numbness Once upon becomes unkind Consciousness now my warning - Cathy Hanlon 3/00 |
