That moment

That moment
When a bolt hits you
Reality sets in
The world
You said yes to
Is not of your choosing
You are living
Someone else's dream.

Wall

Sitting between
The walls
Of a home
Not my own
My vision blurs
My sight fails
The city robs
My memories
The shore I see no more
The eagle
Sitting above the beach
No longer greets me
I look out
Towards the horizon
I see it not
No forest smells
To fill
My breath
No dogs
Off the leash
Gone are the mountains
In their place
A wall.
