Little Boy Draws

Contemplating community…

   Little Boy Draws

Rushing filled with fright
A little boy draws searchers
Missing overnight

   -gl-

A salute to all those that turned out…

Please share…

Into Knots

Contemplating misery…

   Into Knots

Sweating he shivers
Belly twisted into knots
Oh those ghost peppers

   -gl-

Does this kind of foolishness sound familiar…?

A Man Is A Fool

Contemplating stupidity…

   A Man Is A Fool

A man is a fool
And must needs apologize
Praying he doesn’t bring forward the demise
Of her love for him ever knowing his for her rules

His heart
For she is the center of his life
Yes there are other responsibilities

And day to day life full of difficulties
Crowding out moments meant for his wife
His part

Is to hold her tight and think, so not thoughtlessly cruel
Seems so simple how could he do otherwise?
Yet again he must apologize
Such a fool

Happy Anniversary My Love…

Looks Like

Contemplating travail…

   Looks Like

When you work too hard
Burn out looks like depression
Don’t play that last card

   -gl-

The last card being whatever desperation brings…

Possibility

Contemplating hope, and not…

   Possibility

Hopeless not always
Lack of possibility
Sometimes mood’s decay

   -gl-

Emotion is real. But not always reality…

Mists Of Forever

Contemplating love and loss…

   Mists Of Forever

My love’s been forlorn
Lost in mists of forever
Of hope I’ve been shorn

Then again reborn
When thought it would be never
I have been reborn

   -gl-

Can anyone relate? Please share…

To Feel Relaxed

Contemplating fear and the realness of life loved…

   To Feel Relaxed

I have stood in fright
And appeared to feel relaxed
Watching my son fight

   -gl-

What else can I say…

Crack Of A Bat

Contemplating pain and wonder…

   Crack Of A Bat

The crack of a bat
Or the sound of small arms fire
Putting my ribs back

The things you think of in the middle of trauma…   Sound familiar…?

Constant Now

Of sadness and sorrow…

   Constant Now

Years later he grieves
Maybe not as constant now
Wind rustling the leaves

We all feel the pain. Let me know if that strikes a chord…
