I could cry tonight,
if it wasn’t so futile.
I would weep for all my losses –
not just this moment of weakness
but the well of energy that once drove me
is
dry
arid
sapped.
Shuffling steps
are punctuated
with
stumbles
and my grasp
falters
and with sorrow
I surrender
to rest
until the tide changes
and I am renewed
and life flows again.
