What would your life be like?

If you could only see trees and sky?

Rain puddles, gather in your nose

Upside down tears, that go awry

Eating could also be a real hassle

More in your eyes, and on your face

The hair, on the top of your head

Will always seem to look out of place

I’d imagine that’s how it would be

If we couldn’t get up, off the ground

Much like a statue, carved in stone

It would be pretty hard to get around

All the simpleminded things we do

Are quite small, in total retrospect

Then reality comes, kicks us in the ass

And you realize, it’s a pain in the neck

To Dwell in the Mundane ~ #poetry #sadness

The days are upside down

A whirlwind of unknowns

Each morning, I face them

A mirror image of who I am

But where do I need to be?

I overlook the important

To dwell in the mundane

Endlessly searching for me

Wondering where I went

Yet, never finding myself

It’s a brutal pattern

A continuous thread

Unraveling, dangling

With no scissors in sight

To cut away the fray

Until it is too late

Everything I have done

Denigrated, criticized

Until the attacks cease

Forever brought to an end

 

Authors Note:  Just letting you know I am fine.  My poetry, lately, has been reflective of those who are not fine.  I am merely a voice for those who cannot speak…

When your world seems upside down

Reflect upon the sights around

Take in the colors of the sky

Then look at trees as if they fly

Where rock formations touch the sun

And waters tread, in stillness, run

Playing with the rippling breeze

The water, rocks and mighty trees
