Not Sure ..

Posted: Apr 27, 2009 Mon 07:44 pm     Views: 219    Interacts: 3

When the moon feeds
on the residue
of a dying fireball,

I replenish my thoughts
with the wicks of a zillion candles--
extending from the canopy
of a dark night

before the moon is blindfolded
by the beams of a rising sun,

and my dreams, crumble
in the working hours,
snuffed by heavy feet,
rushing to make ends meet.

Forget the title. Just be sure of yourself ;)

One should be sure if thoughts and dreams are at stake.
