confined to a spot

confined to a spot
dust in the corner
piled neatly next to a star
wished on it once when he was young
same he confined by no one
thing or person or event
a record that will not play
he is a fool stagnating
and selfish same he
once compassionate
and now what has become
of the dust pile gone
with a light breeze blowing
out how many candles now
at what point does it not
matter anymore or is it
all important
someone should let him know
looks like he doesn’t care
don’t be fooled
someday everything
will appear a little clearer…
