Fragile

Fragile

I feel so weak, in great pain and helpless,
my body looks so old and broken down;
and, at the same time, I almost feel ageless;
my memories my mind wants to drown.

I scarcely believe that’s my face in the mirror;
is it true that its actually

Everybody Loves A Clown

Everybody Loves A Clown

It seems as though all love a clown;
but, why is it, that such is true;
one who can make a smile from a frown;
is there anything better to do?

Laughter is the ultimate panacea;
into its presence; we’re lured;
acting automatically; like diarrhea;

Weeds Among The Roses

Weeds Among The Roses

God planted seeds in his garden above;
seeds that would blossom and grow;
flowers to portray his steadfast love;
He spoke it; and it was so.

Marriage Of The Souls

Marriage Of The Souls

two unique, separate, peas in a pod;
melded

Driftwood

Driftwood

I am driftwood on the river of life;
floating on the waves of reality;
my thoughts exist in a different place;
the function of life’s duality.

I am who I am; and what I’ll become;
destiny determines the flow;
where I go and what I’ll have
