Blue Sky Of Why |

 Still stinging from feeling Caustic lashes on her skin So tender in its youth That they rekindled blinding flashes of black light in my own Blue sky of forever-wondering why It starts. Again, whispered roars deafen me That sick silent thunder so relentless In violently shaking alive Every single ounce of self-doubt Guilt, disgust, and regret. Reappearing low at first In muffled rumbled warnings A pending earthquake I fear That opens old healed sores To an unforgiving sea of salt. Familiar pangs of pain crash shores Of a heart so ridge-worn with life, Up to there, and back again Where storms raged my soul As driftwood in a sorrowful sea Just like her once. Clouds rumble through cascading rain, As I sit still In a puddle of wonder why tears Thinking I am surely going to drown In the desolation of this self pity. Relentlessly painful memories slash open my tired old brain Now just a seasoned veteran At hiding in the darkness Very seldom seeing the light. How can I possibly inspire her? Or be felt in her heart, Unless this tender young soul Has resided in the abyss of sigh In the blue sky of why? Inspired by a sweet 13 year old young lady that emailed me today day, and I thank her. |

The closing lines are far reaching, and the image you chose to aid in your expression is stunning. Robert Joseph |

"In the desolation of this self pity." Sharon, I love the entire piece but that line up there I like best. Just because we all indulge once in the while... "cast me gently into the morning, for the night has been unkind" |

Sometimes we don't even realize that we are moving mountains when if our head is up in the clouds. He he, that was good, think I will change my signature to that line, anyway ~ thank you kindly everyone and most of all - thank you to a very nice young lady I am glad I met. |

Suzie - did you ever read my signature? Hugs sweet friend. The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all art and science. |
