Hooks

They stretch from me
On many lines
They latch on moments
And reach through time

They draw the moments
To my mind
And now the tension
Leaves me blind

Although I’ve drawn
Some moments near
There are some hooks
Still far from here

Some hooks on things
I can’t control
With lines that tug
And rip and pull

I ask for strength
To cut these lines
On distant hooks
For peace of mind

I need these hooks
For things close by
So I may live
Instead of cry
