Genesis of My Mind By Paul Wilson Dark winding pathway through catacombs of my mind Has brought me back to the beginning Scavengers sit on headstones along the way As my head is spinning Sounds of the dead echo in my mind Screaming… like nothing heard before Night sky turns a burning red The feeling of evil touches my core Voices call me back once again Down this pathway of doubt Each step releasing old memories That I’d rather live without Mind filled with fear I ask What will I see around the bend? What fate awaits me? Is this the beginning…or the end? Voices echo my name Filling my mind with anxiety Lightning lights up night sky As I stand on jagged edge of reality My body transcends time and space I feel like I’m in a cage on display My mind in one world My body in another… to my dismay Hanging onto hands of time The clock holds my fate…live or die Hands move in never ending circle Not caring about the reason why Scavengers wait their turn To feast on flesh left on my bones That long ago turned white As I search for my name among headstones Searching…searching For the Genesis Of My Mind Copy Right 9-10-2020 ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ Paul [This message has been edited by Paul Wilson (09-11-2020 11:59 AM).] |

I have written much of the frustrated buzzards who used to follow me through the wasteland of my life, Paul waiting on my body to just hit the ground. I can't tell you how much I can relate to your verse here. have many unposted ones...will see if I can dig one out for you. "My body transcends time and space I feel like I’m in a cage on display My mind in one world My body in another… to my dismay" I have never, in this life, felt attached. I'd like to say it's been nice to find i have not traversed this road alone...but then it hurts just as much to knows others have shared it. Hugs my friend. Michael |

Michael...Thank you so much for knowing how this feels. It's been many many years since I felt out of place, those words just came out of me and I have no reason why or how. Like about 10 years before my daughter passed away I knew I would suffer a very bad loss in my life but didn't know who. that is weird and then it happened. Take Care...Paul ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ |

Sky...Thanks for the read and reply. Just letting my mind wander and thinking about what our first memory came to us and what it was about, because I can't recall it. Thanks again...Paul ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ |
