To My Unknown Friends

Thanks for smiling

Thanks for waving

Thanks for grabbing my hand when most people are scared to even be close to me

Thanks for chatting about random things

Thanks for babbling about things I can't understand

Thanks for saying hi

Thanks for being around

Thanks for laughing with me

Thanks for understanding

Thanks for being a friend when you were a stranger.


I will miss you and be always grateful for you.

The Hour is Late

I'm waiting up again.

The hour is late.

How this feels so familiar. I've done it more than once.

Waiting
            Wondering
                             Wishing

Ah, well. No use. The hour is late. All I'm doing is making me tired. And waiting? For what?

You.



I'm waiting for you.

Rain Falls

Wild Mind

Rain falls

Thunder booms

Lightning strikes

Wind rushes 

A tidal wave

Night falls

Anxious mind

Candle burns

Whirlwind blows

A quiet have’

Wild mind

Never rests

Thinking

Thinking

A jumbled nest

Crashing

Booming

Rolling

Searching

On a wild quest

Thunder crash

Lightning strike

Rain patter

Mental war

A broken mess

Raging on

Calm down

Blowing in

Chill out

In holy dress

Screaming

Tearing

Sitting

Calm

Quiet nightmare

Clashing

Falling

Hoping

Peace

A peace so rare.

Carry On

I lay on the couch
Face up
I stare up at the ceiling
My eyes close
Slowly
I stop.

I lay
Motionless
I listen to the noises
A bird sings
A car starts
Wind blows.

My ear itches
Then my nose
My feet lose blood
I scratch and readjust
I feel dead
Empty.

I open my eyes
I stare out the window
White blue sky
Wood enframing glass
Glass panels
Dark wood.

I lay
I tried breakfast
Food is sick
I could hardly get it down
I won't try lunch
No use.

I turn and try to move
I fall
I stumble
I stare at a dirty floor
Suddenly
Action.



There is work
I carry on.
