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? [This message has been edited by Purity (03-02-2002 09:47 PM).] |

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. |
