THAT OF THE EMPTIED
Folder:
JOURNAL#30 he lives below the radar most days
in somber resignation to his current circumstance
apparent inner beauty in such apparent inner pain
floundering joy remembered
drowning in sorrow's bitter rain
purposeful are his days
endless yet quite stilted seem his nights
a let down in oh so many ways
his life has become a series of interacting times
and where tonight he deeply wonders is his wife
grievous despair haunts his sturdy runner's frame
with hurting heart on a tight leash
he goes about divesting himself of the ever
present shame
that of which he can not help but feel
as it is oh so human to own all forms of failure
felt
to what the world knows he can not lay claim
but the world he moves and has life in
kills him a little more and a little less
day upon day
at least to me his eyes read in just this
lost sort of way
and so with these words I pray
for him
and his beloved kin
that they can find that path that leads
all back to the arms of joy again.......
