seen from all around

want to understand

how do eye fit

of confusion caught

worn down and tired

want to understand

how eye am seen

from all around

and how to escape

some maze so many

ways to find a way

out of the confusion

and back into

beauty’s light

want to understand

why intensity secures

a spot at the opposite end

of the location desired

to leave all worry behind

and move forward

with strength and

confidence…

worn out(for the record)

ten days of silence

followed by scratching
the surface of an idea
that might continue
to return if allowed
the proper time
 
for the record
given little reward
by those work for daily
by night fall
back out on the porch
moving the pen again
it’s been slow
last few years
getting used
to being worn out…

the outsider(for the record)

I don’t do well with disrespect

especially when it continuously
goes unpunished
and mostly unnoticed to all around
 
for the record
always seen as the outsider
never knowing what is best
for anyone including
myself apparently
 
for the record
sometimes I just sit
hours at a time
even in the heat of July
most of the day alone
used to the sound
the brain thinking
keep rattling on…

as the night is dark(for the record)

fireworks in every direction

celebrating 234 years
independence
as a country fire blazing bright
only light above the pen
and page thought by now
it might make sense
 
for the record
most likely never will
put on a different hat
meaning is still the same
irie as the night is dark
under clear star filled skies...
