Life's Scars

when you are constantly damaged
by life's daily toil
if the deep shadows inside your thoughts
keep you off balance
confused and friendless
and jackhammers beat a relentless tattoo
within your chest a hurtful hurting
by evenings end
and if you find solace with a bottle of red
the numbing effect is therapeutic

It may be called 'soothing.' Selected Short Subjects: coming soon to recycle bins near you. (taking walks through neighborhoods on recycle day shows more and more humans are joining you.) ~~ Diana

Red wine makes me thirsty. Champagne makes my head hurt. Doesn't stop me from sampling either to excess on occasion. Pleasant while it lasts, payback is hell. Patrick

I'm with you Jerry, know this. If this is a soulful feeling from within yourself sometimes life just needs more clarity from those who understand

I think a little red never hurt anyone Jerry. Warms up those shadows.Well penned.

I also partake in a little therapy from time to time, but I can't say it always comes out of a bottle,,,, though that is often the case. Sometimes it’s simply pulling up a chair and viewing works such as this.

Nice job.... I feel much better already. Dick

A wine is much sweeter but it's savored for its taste, and not for its aftereffects.

since the 'red' is not available to me...i'll just have to contend with the 'blue' a little bit longer. hope its gone by morning, it usually is...'til next time, that is. thanks for sharing.

It all tastes like vinegar to me...think I will stick to the grown weed rather than the grape...whatever we do to feel better, is as you said therapeutic...e

Jerry,
they say some vino is good for the blood I never aqutred the taste for the grape and the harder alch's only deadened my senses. your sense of the written word is still great.
