Empty playgrounds, vacant grass, gray,
bleak branches hanging from trees.
Bells ring, children flow upon the sight,
...
Waves gently rolling over sands of heaven, washing away
iniquities of the world.
Steadily flowing, breaking away fragile shells of man,
...
Banging around, drumming rhythms
home to nest in musical compositions,
and be written into future melodies,
felt right from the heart and soul
...
Situations in life change each of us in the long run.
It may not be something you do consciously or don't do.
Life has a way of altering our minds with events that happen unexpectantly and we're left with the results of it all.
As each situation arises, we continually are changed from the inside out.
...
Broken hopes and dreams, falling down
faces of despair.
Bereft in life, of people who care.
Lonely escapades are all they have,
...
Seeing flowers brought by family and
friends to cheer me up are now wilted
and turning brown - dying on their stems.
Much the way I feel within as I try daily
...
Trudging my way through waist high sufferings and trials of senior life, just trying my best to keep my mind occupied.
Thoughts come together, placating my interior soul with their pleasurable expressions in picturesque memories and images.
...
Turning inside out, feeling so sick - doctor doing nothing to help.
Surgeon wanting a cat scan done to check for infection, yet the rehab doc acts like a god, and it's not been ordered and it's three weeks now.
So much for medical care at this rehab center, it's non-existent.
...
Listening to inner voices of emotion, turning over years of images so I may remember the pain that others have caused in my life.
Most of it was needlessly heaped upon me by thoughtless, uncaring people - some strangers.
Even family members, at times, carelessly hurting without thinking.
Life is painful enough without others adding their own insecurities and issues -
...
Easing into patterns of solitude, expressing emotions on paper for all to see and identify with.
Quiet attitudes rise to the surface, bringing with them a new resolve to attack and change whatever surrounds me by other people's ineptitude.
