Staring through
Thee looking glass
Timelines
Came and went
Never held me in place
Long enough
Like shooting stars they fluttered
Picking straws
Hoping to get lucky
Insecurities a plenty
Chemical reactions
Backfired to oblivion
A recipient of
Buried treasures
Countless dreams that fizzled
Once upon a time
To places only I
Could travel too
Deep in my soul
They broke my fall
Were my temporary crutch
In my darkest moments
Held me together
Blessings fell short
Probably because of me
Every so often
Something majestic
Would come to fruition
Life would pinch me
To remind me I’m still alive
I have a special place
I hold dear
A vault deep inside me
Where
I hold onto all theses special
Encounters
I can count them all on one hand
Keepsakes that I wish
I still held in my hands to this day
That at the time I wasn’t truly
Ready to handle
