The Understanding

The Old House

All around age is showing

Images from little children’s imagination are faintly seen on the walls

The sun beaten wood

Chipping paint

Plants growing out of the foundation

Birds’ nests in the attic

A beehive in the corner of the porch ceiling

The door is loosened from its hinge

A creaky step

Over grown grass

Weeds all around

Shingles falling

Broken fence

Dust is collecting

Everything seems run down

Vines growing up the side

A For Sale sign that has been faded

House fixing demanded

Yard work needed

A lonely old home…

Just needing time and care

Animals live here now

No human wants it

What is to happen to this place?

No idea

With everyday that goes by…

Another problem comes to into focus

The more condemned it becomes

No chance for being used again

Just a faint memory

Like a ghost town

No human life

Laughter a faint noise

This home needs mending

And the yard needs tending

But no one seems to need it

So he animals contain it

The house may seem worthless

But it has great qualities that have been covered by the lack of care

Loss of Breath

Time stood still…

For just a moment

And my heart felt like,

It had stopped beating

This world of our’s,

It stopped moving

For just a moment…

Time stood still

No Sign of Hope

Broken heart

A tear falling down the cheek

Fear filled eyes

No sign of hope

Loss of everything it seems

Long nights for nothing

Walking with no purpose

Not being able to think straight

June First Tornado

Western Mass;

The trees may have fallen

Buildings may be destroyed

Suffering may be felt right now

Devastation is all that can be seen

But we can make it through

We are stronger than we think

And we will find a way to move forward

Each day we move closer…

To a very well

And

New beginning

The sun will come out again

The days will become easier

Life will move forward

Loss of Someone Close

You closed your eyes,

Never to be opened again

The coldness of your corpse

It amazes me that you are gone

With that coldness of your body

All the other things I know of you

By the way you used to be

There is nothing now,

Just memories

Ones that will stay with me forever

They won’t ever be the same

Lost

Every form of life

No time to think

Everyone just going along as if there’s nothing

Nothing to do about it

All walking zombies

There’s no form of hope

The Cutting Edge

I cut one piece

And then another

First time is fine

The second not as elegant

It felt just like a paper cut

So I go to clean it

Just to put a wrapping on it

But oh no…

That would have been just swell

But not the luck today

Have to go and call my mother

Yes for the cut I thought…

It was not a scrape

More of a gouge

My left thumb
