Lockdown dreams

A reflection of what got me through

There was a time when it all seemed lost

Every bad hour would always last all day

The world lacked any colour, always grey

Even sunny days felt inside of frost

*

The truth is I left myself double crossed

Another night another filled ashtray

As days kept falling away feeling tossed

Going through the bottle like a buffet

*

Stuck inside but knowing what it could cost

Just wishing there could be another way

The world had become a lonely ballet

It seemed everyone had lost their accost

*

The mirror reflected a white shadow

That I once felt I needed to accept

Then a discovery to help me grow

The world would become anew as I slept

*

Recording adventures my afterglow

Within them I saw the pain that I wept

But also freedom from reality

*

The old worries became so carefree

My dreams so confusing yet refreshing

It became my cold winter cup of tea

And now the end of the day a blessing

*

I no longer need dreams to feel less slow

As my life no longer feels so windswept

But dear reader, I hope you do agree

*

To appreciate what filled your dark hole

Will always elevate your inner soul

About the Creator

Hywel Latimyr

I kinda suck at writing but I enjoy it

Anyway, here's a dumb little haiku:

The gunslinger draws

His opponent does the same

oh dear, they both died
