I try to focus
On the here and noe Not to drift To doze To tomorrow I think This is important Vital Creation right here Still my eyelids close I try to be the person I want to be It doesn't stick But slides off As I doze

Forced into this position
The chair only looks up Rediculous design Put my feet up Look up Roof angles pile above me There's my window Curtains blow open An enticing crack A story there maybe Behind blown white cotton Only darkness from this view The trees don't care They wave high above Shade for me Pathway for a squirrel Bound in by ivy Traffic noise a distant wash Aware of this oasis of peace Forced to look up today We lead them
To the well Explain about water And thirst Point Encourage And gradually Change Comes over their face Eyes widen Understanding dawns They can solve the problem They figured it out And we Walk away Walk away Limits of confidentiality
Duty to warn Just words until They aren't Until the face Across from me Blanches Eyes fill with tears The truth strikes home How do I sort out
Good from bad A sideways look that speaks Of unexpressed anger impatience readiness to give up A far cry from The ones who Ask for my help Do as I say Family That's something else isn't it Can't tell them what to do or How to do it I'm finding my way across A mine field Without a map Set every piece just so
Take a picture of it Stare at the picture Love that every bit is perfect Send it to someone They say Oooo how pretty I say yeah Look at the photos I sent Is this what we refer to as Having no life Yes maybe so He sails across swells
Tethered to a kite And a board His world shrunken to A cubic yard Expands to fill The sky Alone he explores No swimmers No boaters near To commune with He is self sufficient Wind air and water No need for fire Until evening comes |
