He has shed a thousand tears, all for the vagrancy of his dreams. A middle of the road existence eventually gets you killed. Fear held him like a blind man would his cane With intensity and purpose swinging him to and fro all the while beaming his disability for the rest of the world to see. There were days when he embraced the mediocrity of his life, though few. Those days he beamed with radiant ignorance celebrating his liberation from the white cane. Never realizing that fear quelled his hunger to live life. At the age of 50 he faced his demon like Harry Haller , but there was no Hermine The homeless desires of his soul and years of wandering in empty unfulfilled dreams finally grinned and flashed it’s yellow teeth He saw for the first time green reptilian eyes stare at him through the bars of his prison cell Clouds converged and covered a the forest of red hues and orange plumes The smell of autumn, pungent decaying matter acidic and earthy, brown and red mixed like blood after a battle His body swayed in the wind dancing one last venetian waltz He celebrated his liberation alone without any |

Very deep and thought provoking poem.  Ronil (The sweet sound of summer sends serenity through my soul searching for that evermore solitude.) |
