Hopeful negation

hopeful negation

life gives us second chances sometimes...
and we are grateful too..
till time weaves its spell..
yet again.. 

and all the resolves.. all the promises
made to the self
fade into oblivious clouds of hopeful negation
and shifting eyes that avoid their own reflection..

these eyes that compulsively blink
and a heart that never forgets to beat
this step forward leaving one behind
this fist that opens emptying air unseen..

what do I say to convince myself
for every thought lies veiled in words
I take a broom to sweep in vain
for just an iota of pure peaceful space..
