Guiltless in the veneration
Distracted by adoration
How quickly it slips all away
Neglected responsibilities in the fray
“How great it is to have” you said
Hugging each other before the dead
Taking for granted such a blessed gift
Yet all the while the maintenance drifts
Blissfully blind and deaf ears turned
Enabling and getting them burned
Your brood and priceless treasures
Dominated by Earth’s dark pleasures
I’d apologize at how hard it will all be
If you would wield the tools of honesty
Reluctance to rinse sand from my feet
Dirt too precious to give back right away
Souvenirs of the better past
So we can remember a better future.
When something so devastating happens
The mind is quick to catch it
The wounds live in an altered time
And I found out how to bring them back
While I stared helplessly, you took my words
I felt dumb without them, paralyzed
When empathy took over, I listened
And learned what my scars were from
I trace them carefully with my hand
I hear every story they tell
But I am jealous of the pain you felt
You don’t deserve to hurt for me
Even this beautiful coral
Deteriorated and worn
I will wash away to mend me
Finding pieces of you within

This line of thinking got me to a fantastic place… reading self-help pages for only problems i don’t have. I strongly recommend it. I also recommend spelling recommend with only one “c.” I also do not recommend picking up American English grammar rules like putting punctuation inside the quotes despite ambiguity. Continue reading
You will be able to stay at home, brother.
Wrecked 'em? Damn near killed 'em!
