this has sat, unnoticed, in my drafts
for well over a year now
not sure about it, but here it is
scroll down and click play,
then read
he sits weakened, arms weak and head heavy
coughing and sinus congestion reign supreme
neighborhood dogs destroy his solace in silence
they perform a tag team ballet destroying peace
destroying sleep and sanity
unchecked cacophony of barking
day after day a non stop barrage
a cup spilling over from being filled up too much
the sun and the birds are oblivious to these things
they fly in skies of beauty in peaceful melodies
the clouds showing them the way to bliss and magic
all together they form a unison of solace
a dream for the broken down and weary wanderers
and let's not forget the trees and plants
waving and swaying in the magic of cool breezes
he watches them with a heavy heart
watches their dance, their contentments
.....a struggle to focus on things
powerless is putting it very lightly
the way a battery powered toy must feel with no batteries
a car with no gas
a hungry child with no food
he sat for a moment and thought
"how can people live in the world and not know that
simple things like an unruly, barking dog can
completely destroy the peace and solace in a persons world?"
a vacation or evacuation
i must be missing something here
ahh, once again he's done it
he sometimes slips up and says i instead of he
he is more flawed than good these days
OBSOLETE
