A Poem About Today 8/13/15 Poem by Andy Caldwell

I don't know my story's end
and I don't know where and how to begin
my life goes on and on and on
boring at times and painful always
just got done burying my dead friend Tim
helping his family learn to be without him
my niece my nephew my sister-in-law
enough said their pain is fresh and really raw
Also I have returned to see other friends
could be I won't see them ever again
part of them lives in me- inside memories
Many people I see are living dead
no emotional depth nor thoughts in their heads
they go on and on reciting what other's said
I sleep little and rarely dream
but when I do they are horrific scenes
This poem's a quagmire of what's inside me
I am headed for deeper waters
to delve into what really matters
songs of death left me tattered
my soul my soul it is shattered
I turn now to thoughts on God
He is the start and the end
He loves us all and hates our sin
I'll stop writing now I need to pray
sometime I will write of another day
