Contemplation

I opened my eyes

In the emerald stream.

Alone,

I repined.

Shards of the past,

Reliving in my mind.

Embittered,

I raged.

The future I craved,

Wrenched from my hands.

Loss,

I abided.

Hollow existence,

Without time and meaning.

Trapped,

I cursed.

Forbidden the world,

Adrift aimless.

Eternity,

I dreamed.
