Tunnel

I see the light

but cannot reach it.

I see the green pasture

but cannot smell it.

I feel the freedom

but cannot unlock the door.

I want to be me again

but I fail to recognize who I am.

You have helped me

but I cannot feel any success.

You hold out hope for me

but I am slowly failing.

Help me now

so I can touch the light

and

smell the pasture.

12.15.2012 – for a special boy

Powder Man

He sneaks into your thoughts continuously

as you fight with him vigorously.

You have been lost in the mist

unexplainably rendezvousing with the Powder Man.

You are caught--- from time to time

endlessly correcting him in mime.

Enter the Powder Man

and losing sight as you glad back into the mist.

Exit the Powder Man,

you think you can

but

got caught in the haze

endlessly in a walking daze.

Exit the Powder Man

following him as best you can.
