Journeys

My journeys, my adventures through time

have come to you on the wings of many a rhyme.

There are delightful blisses, heart breaking sorrows,

from the past, in the here and now, in my tomorrows.

Tomorrows, being the future we may not know.

Tomorrows, promised to no one, we may not go

into that space , that place in futures time,

except for psychics, writers of prose and rhyme.

The essence of my checkered past, my history,

have come to you through many a sad story.

Ninety two volumes, in honest detail, do tell

of this foolish man, seventy three, who fell

from the walls, onto the wrong side of life’s glory,

to live out a life of ???,  this be a part of my story.

The many adventures, journeys coming to an end

as I slowly saunters upon a path to the next bend.

The fallacies in the lives of disabled’s

A torrential downpour of tears, profusely flowed

upon seeing / hearing what a blind, autistic boy showed

of a world, we know not, beneath the surface lies,

behind the sightlessness of these worldly eyes

A world beyond any possible comprehension.

A world to which we offer our compassion.

What a universe, within, for us to see

as they put themselves on display, set free

all that lies within their physical disability,

to give us glimpses of their hidden ability.

Every so often, one excels, shows what is inside,

where so many others live, and from us hide.

Riverview

A River of psyche’s hope, of shattered dreams.

A view, lost in darkness, disturbed minds it seems.

Rivers of confused visions and emotions.

Views, buried within turbulent commotions.

A River that meanders through the trees.

A view of tranquility, distressed minds it frees.

Riverview, soon to become government / developers fare

Riverview, its essence, government / developers do not care.

Rivers of government / developers insatiable greed.

Views of coffers overflowing, deep pockets to feed.

Melanie, where is she ???

My patience has reached a ceiling.

Much too heavy is this feeling

I get when I get no consideration.

Your total lack of appreciation

breaks my troubled heart

with each and every new start

I become in evolved in.

These journeys, what sin.

I feel that I have reached an end.

Your attitudes, I no longer care to defend,

justify as a product of your drug addiction.

This must be my sad and final conviction.

You, my Dear, have made your choices.

I have had enough of these drug induced voices.

I do not want to believe that this is you,

yet, you come out, in word, in all you do,

that doth convince me that you are

- once beautiful -, now a  falling star.

My wish is, that Creekside offers hope

for us all, that you clean up, get off the dope.

Love

A sad Dad
