Life swings from
the crown jewels,
treasures sparkling
golden possibilities.

Abrasive dirt,
eroding survival,
weathered acidic tears,
face of painful change.

Wealth of the free mind,
traveling in time’s universes,
floating dreams finding
the ultimate truths.

Path of thorns,
bleeding scars,
limping realizations,
crippling cancer infestations.

Music of angels,
spirit singing miracles,
salvation of believing,
prayers answering to tears.

Wasted away,
beyond any hope,
untouchable disdain,
beyond depression.

Struggle to acceptance,
award winning tribute,
admiration of your peers,
uniquely expressed individuality.

Tattered dreams,
nightmare scenarios,
sweating night chills,
heart burning fears.

The oceans of tides,
listless mirrored reflections,
storming towers of brine,
rippling waves building
into frustrated shorelines,
magnetic moon of highs,
depressed pull of lows,
sand between the toes
washed away undertows,
grains of time moving,
in cycles of changes.

Thoughts: In all my tears of feeling live’s pain within the isolation of being myself, my greatest joy comes when the flight of my mind affects another, who then flies higher from the thoughts within their own creativity.
