Life Guard?

When the cares you seek
become the cares of none
all that you attempt
is an in-place run

"See what I've made"
you say to the air
then look around
and see no-one there

The unobserved life
disenfranchised and benign
collapsing upon itself
under its own design

Hear those cries?
it's a sanity needs saving
reach out your mind
I'm drowning - not waving

NO Lifeguard on Duty--write at your own risk.
Thanks for taking soooooo many!

Sometimes the art or achievement you make is a foundation that awaits its moment. Perhaps visions can be enjoyed by its creator, even when the world isn't yet ready for its author.

Wonderful allegory and metaphor employed here, Brian. This is excellent. Very expressive and evocative, enjoyed immensely. Lovely stuff, indeed.
Mahalo, Kalikiano
