Binds and bonds at war with each other
Disfunctionality's ugly head grows bigger
As the rivers of tears and fears flood the heart
Potholes enlarge, not just being bothersome
But actually causing damage to the wheels of
Motion on this once beautiful vessel of care

Growing bigger and uglier still,
The portrait modified and its grandeur destroyed
By necessity in too many things unpure
Lions roaring all around
Absolves of those loving enough to be charitable
Offering such prayed-for and welcome peace
To the misery that now uses its own laughter
To predicate demise of all that matters.

And of the small poetic beacon called me?
The fortress of strength, compassion and
Rationality is running for shelter from the storm.
Seeking refuge and replinishment to rejuvinate
Abilities to solve with love, and destroy the
Uglies with simply being.

Yet the high-wire dances forced upon familial souls
Not used to such heights are slowly rendering
Yours truly useless to aide and make better.
I believe no more in guessing the story's end.
The Grandest of all Storytellers weaves much
Too complicated a plot, and so I watch and listen
Intently, to see my story's end.
Drama, indeed. Tragedy, could be.
Comedy, sometimes. Miracle story, I can but pray.
But eulogy...I think not this time.
The Lions quieter...
Are those trumpets?

your use of certain words not often used in the human language is awesome. i do believe this is a favorite. i know from what you speak, purity. when the pressure starts to climb, your faith must rise as high. you deserve shelter from the storm, but likewise i see familial needs that you seem to have the strength to provide. i am with you. i see this storyteller ending the reading of this chapter on a miraculous and positive note. great poem. great.

This is good. I enjoyed your style. Sounds like family problems, and I relate.

Thoughtful, not overwrought, not underthought.
