Dearest readers,
It is another night and another piece I have written, which you can find the link to below!
FOR MOTHER LAND: “We deeply regret to inform you…” – A POEM
A lot of my poetry, works of fiction, mostly just arise from me, wanting to be shared, from someplace, and if I feel like it (truthfully, sometimes I just want to hide under my covers and not lift them up till forever, which, sadly, has been happening a lot lately!!) I sit down and begin writing them down either on the old trusty laptop or a note pad.
Most times, when I write these pieces, I’m feeling pretty bright and cheerful but the words are far from that point of view; the words can be dark, almost too dark, but they need to be sent out into the world.
I try to share; sometimes I think there is another world, somewhere, trying to speak and my mind is the only one listening.
If that’s the case, this piece is from some young lad, barely in his twenties, which war, I have no clue, any war will do.
Into madness,
We saw ourselves go,
Propelled there by our might,
Our own will,
Our eyes held closed,
Against the blinding of the light,
Bombs bursting in air,
One of the lines from the poem, it just popped into my mind as I sat at the kitchen table and opened my notebook, the same notebook holding my “Homeless diary” as well, I’ve kept it as a notebook for my life, jotting things down as they come to me.
Someday I hope to get it published.
Someday again, another of those things that very rarely ever comes, like tomorrow, it never comes.
We stand there and wait, someday, tomorrow, echoes from our past, our father’s words,
our mother’s, children, does not matter, tomorrow, that mythical beast, we are forever in pursuit of it, to the grave.
So we should, it is written, live for today, keep the memories alive, but only peek at them sparingly, to live in the here and now, something I need to learn to do myself.
Good night my dear friends, until I speak with you again….
WANDERING WHERE I AM GOING!
