Forever Elusive

A Poem by rubie

Crystalline dreams

From shattered moments

Pearl dust slipping through my open fingers

Like sands through a sieve…

Wisps of wishes

In voracious emptiness

Haunt my waking hours

Until the merciful night comes

Providing temporary respite

From this stark reality that torments my soul
