Restless

I try to cast the dreams away
but push them off to no avail.
An empty world does not assist
for no one comes to hear my wail.

The walls remain in place around,
muffling the horrid sound
of pleas that come from so far in
that they reveal my secret sin.

I must admit that I cannot remember whose prompt this is and so cannot link it. I started it 11 hours ago, got distracted and then came back to it an hour or so ago and finished the poem. Ever since then, I’ve been trying to find the prompt! I believe it was the photo as I know I didn’t take the picture.

If anyone knows the link to the prompt, please help!!!

About lifelessons

My blog, which started out to be about overcoming grief, quickly grew into a blog about celebrating life. I post daily: poems, photographs, essays or stories. I've lived in countries all around the globe but have finally come to rest in Mexico, where I've lived since 2001. My books may be found on Amazon in Kindle and print format, my art in local Ajijic galleries. Hope to see you at my blog.
