Intricacies.....Of Life Poem by James B. Earley

...Wide....awake
Though fast asleep
....The bitter truth
In fact ran deep

'Twas flaming....fire
...That never lied
The proof of which
Burned deep inside

Every single day
....Still.....the pain
Aching moments
Never seemed to wane

A once...obscured
....Distorted....view
Now seeing clearly
..What others knew

As a...credible witness
....Life...discerns
So much of folks...
It thus...then learns

That bitter truth...did
...In fact...run deep
Though wide awake
....Yet...fast...asleep
