Visit a hospital

Visit a hospital

Gain a new perspective 

So many suffer more

Pain is not selective 

The whoosh of emotions

My getting in their heads

I want to hold their hands

And crawl inside their beds

Chase the impossible

Chase the impossible

Paradise in peril

Fragility ego

Niag’ra Falls barrel

Reality checkered

Single lane renaissance 

Heaven until it’s not

Then moving van response

The years in the attic

The years in the attic

Anger in the basement 

My foundation is strong

My heart an encasement

Front door, back door, window

Exits out, the chimney

Squeeze beneath the woodwork

Self-propel is in me

Somewhere in the swirling

Somewhere in the swirling

Between pigeons and saints

Sunlight briefly breaks through 

And outshines the complaints 

Victims or praise seekers

Either gauze or applause

The survivalist says

Sense of self the one cause

Empathy confluence

Empathy confluence

Watercolors or paint

Purple, orange or green and

Boldly vibrant, not faint

The continuous mix

Celebrating the blend

Primary is primal

And modernism the end

Borrowed false happiness

Borrowed false happiness

Returns empty handed 

Chatter louder than truth 

The rough wood needs sanded

Wants grossly exceeding 

Normal Goldilocks craves

Imitators are not

Free from others but slaves

Into the greener grass

Into the greener grass

Sparrows for moments land

Then gone like lost buttons

Clouds clearly understand

A kiss is all and much

My wrinkled heart I press 

And words speaking forward

Letters without address
