End Less Instant

Irrevocable pleas to an end less instant
Glistening seas carry wishes persistent
Upon ruins lie reinvented perceptions and lost recollections
for too long waging war on the wrong reality
destroying the truth in me
Every act a reenactment of former distain
Every touch a reminder of the stain
Does a better dreamscape yet remain?
As long as a dandelion can carry a child's whispered wish
on the currents of the air we breathe...
There is still hope
We will not forever bleed
