The Separation Circle - Lumps & Bumps

Ghosts float by and fade.
Dusty mirrors greyed.
Estimates unweighed.
Strategies unplayed.
Mountains viewed not climbed.
Couplets yet unrhymed.
Time and tide don't wait
but still you hesitate.

False starts left outclassed.
Chances came but passed.
Fears have held you fast
Breathless to the last.
Lovers flew your dreams
flowed to other streams.
Allies you frustrate
but still you hesitate.

Days refused a dawn.
Curtains fade still drawn.
Children wait unborn
Lives not lived to mourn.
Hopes which might have been.
Arms outstretched unseen.
Time and tide don't wait
But still you hesitate.
