Between Two Worlds

My poetry lies in love

It flourishes with the fluttering heart

Arises from the quiet of nature

Muffled by the walls around me

Robbed by mindless motion

Stifled by our civilized world

Expectations, obligations crush me slowly

I waver between the world of waking

And the daydreams that whisper louder

Luring me to a different place

One that can’t survive off money

And feels more real than realistic

At times they are left as simple fantasies

Or confusion being lost at sea

With no direction to guide me forward

And then I catch the slightest of glimmer

From the stars that fill the sky at night

And only appear in the darkest of places

It’s just enough to bring me back

And just enough to keep me there

So I walk in two worlds as I see in the dark
