spirit whimpers
as my brain throws
2 a.m. tantrums
in objection to not being
able to express what is behind
the eye of this clutter'd mind,
and in a manner of speaking,
it is as if my fingers are all but
imprison'd, on lockdown where
ideas are subject to visiting hours
and even the bliss of reading
is threaten'd by a future
that dims my grandest joy
common sense brandishes a
fickle finger of caution, yet its
image does nothing but vanish
with each wag in the face
of verses seeking escape.

Author's Personal Note: The graphic above depicts a half-moon type shape very similar to what I see floating in my left eye's field of vision. The spots are representative of many dark specks too numerous to count. Since I've curtailed my writing my dreams at night, and during the day when napping, are extremely vivid and real from a lavish lifestyle to down right rated "R". The frustration of waiting on my retina to decide what it's going to do is a test of faith. Still, I will not complain. . .even though I will never pretend not to be human as this is effecting so much of how I feel about my own projects. So to stay busy, I'm helping with a political non-partisan campaign for a dear family friend, but nothing takes the place of writing when it's part of your soul.
So I cope doing what I can when I can, and being thankful for sight when it could be much worse. In all things, we must give Praise to Son of God, The One who is Purest Light of all other lights both earthly and angelic.
love y'all,
