New Age Poem by James McLain

and she is your being why
you know me naught
how much i try
the patience of them all.

The truth of mental illness
they left untreated
and why i flew not far away
by you too far.

her and you, your brother
have i always loved.
to hard i loved.

and a gift the last i sent
to he
in trust my life as well.

adults as children,
children play.
adults wont learn.

and i was told
your shells
and teeth
a gift by me
were blown away as leaves
that never by me were.

and now before the state
they said, i lay in wait.
