Broken Circle

Glimpses of youth
removed from grasps
by keen wailing of growth.
Dreams forsaken
limited ecstasy
beneath turgid reality.
Sacrifice to live
Sacrifice to love
Sacrifice to know
No sacrifice to dream
never innocent
never old
never sanguine
never alone
Dream is a reality of true false
hopes of lives of loves dream knows
forsaken growth
youth in Nature.
Rest in peace
glimpses of sleep
leaves flowers flesh soil
desire drawn near compassion
Full circle and yet again,
Full circle and yet no more.
