Thinned out and worn down
Blue shimmers into focus
Gradients in tone
Remnants of somnolence
Pale flesh flushed
Thinned out and worn down
Blue shimmers into focus
— I am awake, life has forgiven me —
{Every day}
Gradients in tone
— I am living, life has not forsaken me —
{Every day a little closer}
Remnants of somnolence
— I am awake, not sleeping forever —
{Every day a little closer to feeling}
Pale flesh flushed

Thinned out and worn down

me, me, me
when i read back my poetry it screams “me, me, me” on my screen in bold letters and i can’t shut it up — most days, i cannot make any other words out; i want to throttle a thousand versions of the me gone by, i want to throw myself from a figurative balcony, i want to sink a sword into every pen i’ve held

Review of 'Man on the Run'
My wife and I saw Man on the Run, a nearly 2-hour documentary on Amazon Prime, about Wings, Paul McCartney's group that flew around the world from shortly after The Beatles broke up in early 1970 to shortly after John Lennon was murdered at the end of 1980, making a Beatles reunion forever impossible.

Blue is the color of sorrow and hope, mr avatar. Sky blue is life, water blue is essence, both are the same in different forms. Glad you are living also is it just more or did they switch the like and comments buttons???
That line "life has forgiven me" is a powerful one. It feels like a long, deep breath after a really hard season. You described that blurry state where you are just starting to wake up and realize you are still here, and that the world is giving you another shot.
Deep and thoughtful. Nicely done, Paul.
Keep up the good work and life is good.
Hugs, Paul
Hang in there Sir Paul. Sending you lots of love and hugs ❤️
