Empty Promise

The trees have flipped their 
​ shadows in the yard

Rooms on the dark side of the house 
are now lit up

The clock reverses its hands 
​ in empathy while

The earth pretends to be still.


I feel just the same as I did
​this morning and afternoon

Life will always be 
​ as it is right now

Time is an illusion
​ The moment promises.

But, shadows don’t lie.
