A one time thing
that happens rarely
for no reason at all.
An indulgence
when needed
to fulfill
a small craving.
A blessing
when a friend
shows you they care.
Sometimes all that is needed
is a listening ear
or a word of encouragement.
Silence or a hug
can be the most precious
treat of them all.
To sound grateful
or happy
when with family
even though inside
you really would
rather
be anywhere
but here
The circle continues
Unbroken
Forever winding its way
past all the things seen before
New things will be added
but the results will be the same
Nobody believes the signs
and so we come again to the place
where lives get lost
and people close their eyes
to the horrors they helped create
It is like a train wreck
you can see about to happen.
The tracks are destroyed
and the train has no way to slow down!
Not in time.
We all know what will happen
if the bad guy wins.
Yet, we can not see how to stop them.
Because even deflecting or derailing the train
won’t help.
It is too far down the tracks now.
Vacations are fun
But now they are over
The airplane is waiting
To take me back home
The memories made
The friends old and new
Will tide me over until the next time
I get blue
Socially Anxious
Scared
But fascinated
Watching
Wanting
Unable to ask
Greeting
Or Fleeing
Warring within
Fear
Desperation
Sometimes win
Sometimes I dream
Other times I wander
Often I return
And vaguely do I remember
But most of the time
Heaven is hell bent
The extremes.
The thrills.
The chance of failure.
All of it builds
and yet it does nothing to satisfy
the craving of adventure
Where will it end?
Even death is no longer a morbid factor
when every decision made
is based on whether life could be lost or not.
So adrenaline seekers continue
to push their mortal envelopes
and the ones in their boxes of comfort
watch inexporably.
When it fails spectacularly
There is always consequences
Like people being angry
Or having to deal with mechanical problems
Most seem to forget
that sometimes it is not an excuse
but they use it anyway
Things need to be done.
Time is running out!
Procrastination will only make it worse.
Yet I don’t feel like doing it.
Well, eventually it will get done.
Just, maybe, not today?
