A downward spiral
has sucked my brain
into an alarming flood
of multitudinous meanderings.
Exotic monikers
light up my screen
new and old
parading requests
to come and have fun
let’s play games
text and extol
fanciful tales of joy
and woe. You are among friends.
A veritable montage of
learning follows
from a newborn’s first hopeful cry, to
old best friends who have died too young
and others that married the football captain
the proctologist, and the now homeless
comedian as he muses on future
High School reunions.
Idle laughter distilled while
tracking
through
the thick confluence
of a rough relational glue
sold for a click
amid lost days
spent
dodging real
hopelessly caught up
in playing
pretend.
**Disclaimer—not me, just a poem.
Hi Connie,
Can I leave you my try with your words,
Confession.
Forgive me Father for I have sinned.
I spoke with the power of Angels,
so quiet, a whisper in the ear
of everyone in the crowd.
They flowed to my words, honest, subtle,
a fill of needs, biblical floods – the works.
I cried, wailed truths, wielded it
as a weapon until they were lost
in the wilderness, wanting the hope
they thought only I could give them.
I had my fun with them,
they did not hear my laughter
as I walked alone in the desert.
I was not rough with them,
as you were in the beginning,
so why Father?
Why have you forsaken me?
