I wrote this for a 100 Word Prompt over at Thin Spiral Notebook a month ago or more and never got it posted. So, I decided I would share it anyway. Can you guess what the prompt word was?
Words on a page
staring back at me
so much more
than letters and paper
Dreams being dreamt
Goals being set
Hope
Love
Life
all that is good
and bright
about living
Words on a page
haunting my sleep
crawling across
pages stained with tears
Dreams that were crushed
Goals not met
Fear
Pain
Loss
all the emptiness
and darkness
from what life gives
Words on a page
yellowed and frail
faded in
stained by time
A myriad of dreams
Goals innocent and wise
Life
Fate
History
telling a story
of so long ago
of someone unknown
More than words
Part author, part artist, all dreamer
