In Darkness I Dwell

In darkness I dwell
walking within shadows
unknown
yet, not unknowable
unseen
yet, not invisible
just forgotten
forgotten
long ago days
days when dreams might reach fruition
days when love was at hand
I dwelt in light
walking in hope
nothing now remains
but memories
the wreckage of aspiration
and
these
words
that spill from my soul.
