Never to Awaken

In their silvered wish,
My eyes can see farther than time allows,
And slow hands can touch a farther shore
And praying, there gently open doors
That a kiss still breathe
Where later futures die,
In the static-charged sky;
And into quiet depths,
Old dreams may bore,
To live out their lie-
Then awake, no more.

Very well penned verse heterodynemind. I loved these lines “a kiss still breathe where later futures die”. I noticed an undercurrent note of despair or anxiety which touches the reader’s heart. Very nice to read

"And into quiet depths, Old dreams may bore, To live out their lie- Then awake, no more." A rather wistful write with a sadness that is very touching...
