Punctuation

 

Something came to and end

A point in my life

It ought to have been

Merely a comma

From here I see a period.

 

What follows seems

to want to be a sentence

Perhaps even a fresh paragraph

Have I morphed into Act III?

 

Would the author please

Reveal my plot’s next twist

Been more than enough surprises

Rather no more just yet a for while

 

Write it slow, write it large

Leave little to imagining

Take out doubt

Write in a little inevitability

 

I’ve healed m hurt

Put out old fires

Old wounds are healing

Remodeling everything about me

 

New eyes look bravely out

Now need new inspiration

Shall I have to start

To do again?

I thought I’d memorized the lines

Now someone’s messing with the text

No desire to play at improv

Oh well, here goes, why not?

 

Realize on writing this

I became complacent

Started counting on a future

No longer living day by day

 

Backdoor path to humbleness

Dimmed down heart’s cry volume

Death and taxes, nothing else

Get up, get out, live brave
