stumbling through the days

never chasing after dreams

a life unlivedin

Armor

Even with all of this armor

I feel scantily clad

Exposed &

Vulnerable

Do teardrops

Left unwept

Still equate to weakness?

Hope

Holding on to

One dream one

Promise to be

Exempt from despair

middle ground ~haiku

why is it always

too much or just not enough

where is the balance

sleep

being

broken and weary

seeking eternal slumber

she curled beneath it’s canopy

the winter tree laid down it’s leaves

blanketing her in serendipity

whispering sweet nothings

she gently placed him in his crib

as his eyes fluttered and closed

for the last time
