Waking to the Truth
Each passing day finds hope ever dimmer,
the happiness that once was ours shrouded
with darkness, and that bright horizon
now beyond our reach, making it harder to find
the truth within these lambent dreams.
This is my response to Thursday Photo Prompt: Lambent #writephoto
at Sue Vincent’s Daily Echo, with her photo.

Thank you, Merril. Politics, love – even when there seems to be no hope, there’s always forward.

It does seem like we are stilled in our dreams. And what waits for us when the nightmare is over? (K)
