A lifeline

I had a dream today

Of a life and what may

Have been

Had I not died that day

A lifeline uninterrupted

In the flow of time

I had a dream today

Of a life lived to the fullness

That was open to me

Walking a life feeling free

Feeling comfortable to be

In the flow of time

I had a dream today

Of a life lived by me

No fear only me living fully

Greeting each day

As it was meant to be

In the flow of time

I had a dream today

Of a life never to be

Something gifted to those

Walking next to me

Never knowing the gift to be

In the flow of time

Open link night

Calmer seas

I am drifting through

A sea of tranquility and mist

Trusting myself to this life raft

Composed of kind words and gestures

Has kept me afloat

In This dream of a life that is full

Simple things and Pleasantries

Those same kind words and thoughtful gestures

Remain upon awakening from that dream

Hopefully those are enough of a

Trade wind to soon carry me to

Calmer seas

What is

What reflection does it see

What is the pathos of evil

Under what guise

Does it toil

Laboring long into

The night

Does it make

Pipe bombs and chemical

Weapons to take out

Its neighbors

While shooting movie goers

Or is it the man

In the nice shirt

With perfect teeth

Offering you the five

Year adjustable rate

Rock bottom low

Home refi loan

Under what pathos

Does evil lie

Hello my blogging world… 

I have had people that follow my blog ask about my health, and I wanted to give an update. My lungs are still hurting and causing me to have fits of coughing. At times it feels as if I am drowning. This weekend while with a group of people I found myself not knowing where everyone had gone, and I wandered for about twenty minutes, confused and disoriented. I told the people I was with about it but I didn’t say how much it scared me. Had I not been so familiar with the area I was in I could have been truly lost. Never in my life have I experienced anything like that. I am functioning well for the most part, and it is deceptive. I think I am better than I actually am and my body lets me know. The doctors say that with time and medication this will be but a memory, but that is hard to get a grasp on while struggling to breathe.

Nuclear winter

Bleak and glowing

The weather forecast is

Bleak and glowing,

Burning winds with blowing bits

Of the cities now dust.

Having a season or…three

Of nuclear winter

Is good for you and me

Oh, you suffer from

Seasonal depression?

That’s too bad

I wish for you

That there was another

Color of sky to be had

The new back to school

Fall line of coveralls and

Lead lined suits

Aren’t too bad

They are saying grey over

Hunters orange will not be

Just another fad

It's Monday....not dooms day

                                                                                                                                                           

Beginning again

There is a magical point

In time

While floating through

The air

The whole world resolves

So clear

And time stands itself

So still

Everything in its place

Just right

At times like these

Oh yes

It becomes very clear

Yes crystal

That no matter how hard

I try

I have no chance

At all

Of stopping the pain

Beginning again
