Twisted Silent Nods
A bruised heart soars at nodded acknowledgements given with mirrored smiles
While Clouds form beneath layers of not yet regrets but decisions that made us
who we are
The cicadas sing and the crickets play in the after dusk orchestras
Mostly unnoticed by those traveling and focused on other things
less important
Eyes search stars and stare at alarm clocks in disbelief or silent resignation
It's hard to tell what lies beyond the surface of scattered thoughts
maybe hazy dreams
Distant smells barely remembered leave shaken confidence and drenched sheets
A past replayed and instances changed only behind closed lids
afraid to open
