Pawn to Dawn

Not sure a resolution 

delivers relief, solution 

to capturing confusion

taking hold of thoughts

in my mind.

Not sure the words I  say 

can push the doubt away 

to seek a brighter day

with all this dread, decay 

in my mind.

Not sure ticking time truly heals

as this brain conceals and reels 

My heart feels, appeals 

stalemate stuck,square wheels 

No clicking heels retreat

in my mind.

Yet when I close my eyes

Embrace the light, sunrise

No blunders, sighs, or cries

unlock a cherished prize 

in my mind.

A simple, steady flame

Envelopes all the blame

Smoke smothers all the shame

in my mind.

And then I’m filled with peace

A calm to never cease

A checkmate, 

a release 

In

My

Mind
