Dark night by Merritt Waldon

All these years now, half drunk most days
Losing so many good situations 
Pushing so many darker ways

Seeing now the sown life pillaged
Too many times,  reaching I find a light
One once blinded by being caged
Through the denial & flight

All these years now, I see the stammering
I see the confusion of ages in fractured memories
Clearly now without all the clamoring

Metamorphosis pursued
I cling to the cocoon of hope
To become imbued

When the golden eternity arrives,
Ill have resown my lives
