Sometimes life can just be so exhausting. The daily slog of work, commitments, politics, family dynamics etc. can be physically and emotionally draining. Don’t you agree?

I pin my hopes and dreams
on a cork-less board
and watch them fall
empty and unfulfilled
to the floor below
Time after time I wonder,
was there a hiccup
in my biological make up
convincing me to believe
things that will never be?
In my mind’s eye is a vista
of a life of perfection
One I am meant to be living
But it never becomes reality
Patience stretched to snapping
Disillusioned but not beaten
I continue to pin hopes and dreams
wherever they might adhere
Because one day, perhaps
something will eventually stick

Lost in the current of my dreams floating in between hopes and fears Drifting towards that haven between anxiety and peace Hoping to decipher confusing messages laid before me Who waves the prickly pear in my face? A punishment for a wrong I unknowingly committed? Who are these adversaries in my sleep? What have I done?
