Nostalgia?            written on 19 November 2011

The hot blood of life’s blindfolds running through my veins

Corrupted visions of fate entwined with hopeless fear

As I shake within

cradling my quivering soul beneath me

encompassed by an energy I make little sense of

reaching deep down within toward the blindfolds we wear…

And trembling to and fro beneath this veil

one more quaking thrust forward in and out of this world

as tears come I quiver along with you

and enfold a paintbrush in my arms….

 

The cold blood of life’s blindfolds corrupting the flow in my veins

Visions of consequence entwined with hopeless faith

As so many bid me farewell and God bless

At a distance I sit and wonder what it is I am thanked for

Who and what my work has touched

To see deep down within toward the blindfolds few discard…

A dance of the harshest reproof

As confusion creates a void inside me

As we disregard each other

It is clearer to me how much tighter I must grasp my paintbrush
