The brain shuts down when pain decides to squeeze like a steel vice and draw each drop of happiness from one imprisoned so. And with each drop the will to live is lost and wanders far until in sleep the mind shouts out “Come, please come home” but the will now free uncertain stands immobile for a while. In this stance it thinks to be a carefree travelling gypsy and enjoy the forest greenery until called to other pastures but too it knows that home’s a place where its peculiarities are welcomed and adored. Like love it thinks until sunrise and waits for the sunset to form within the way to go but always in the ears the mind’s so plaintiff cry echo’s and re-echo’s throughout the duration. The will to live; how far it roams when pain decides to hold and I, the scribe, wait patiently to document part 2.

Thank you, Tina. The inspiration for it isn't "beautiful" but I'm sure it will lead to appreciation down the line. Helen |
