Broken in the Dust

Broken in the Dust

Leaping into the heart of the weary,
a faint sliver of hope whispers low,
delusions for a world forever,
weaving dreams into a tattered coat.

The deceitful toss sad eyed wishes
into the wind-battered alley,
you do not need a compass,
to see you have nowhere to go.

The circus is not under the big top,
it is here on the lonely street,
the game rigged against us,
remember yesterday’s promise?

Not knowing which way is south,
the bearings once were clear,
all destinations are elsewhere,
crumble to their irrelevant fate.

An empty highway no longer alive,
campfires dead along the way.
Ahead unforgiving depths of years,
abandoned dreams, broken in the dust.

(C) 2002

I like this one a lot! Hope you don't mind if I print it out and pass it around at school! (You will get your deservd credit for writing it of course!) ^_~

A wonderful word painting, Kay Lee. The mood is certainly somber and blue. Hope this is not really about you and where you are heading. You have too much to offer the world to be this down. The beautiful portraits you paint with your words illuminate the lives of many and give us pause for introspection, peace and hope.

Warmest Regards,
Lyle

Beautiful job and astonishing imagery. I love the way you wrote it and the different usage of words and images. It's sad, and you can hear a despondent, almost hollow voice whispering it amongst road ridden with dust and tumble weeds in a cloud covered, blackened ghost city.

This is just beautiful. I love what it says. Your title drew me in and your words kept me reading till the last word. I love this!

This is a very well crafted poem. I especially liked the line"weaving dreams into a tattered coat" Thnaks for submitting this Kay.
