Today is my son, Nicks birthday and he wrote a series of poetry after I posted
this last poem he wrote when younger and printed it out for him .
Nick said it inspired him to keep writing and expressing, some of you know he is in jail
for voilation of his probation and he needs to reach deep inside to touch his inner core
to write this poetry and it's healing for me to illustrate it and share it with all of you.
Internal Melody
The Melody of rain
Wet like the words I spoke,
The words I speak
The words I wrote.
Flashes of pain
Hot like the fire
Barely extinguished
But fed by desire.
On going tasks
Of priceless process
No wonder of failure,
Mass wonders of stress.
Faces with masks
Unfamiliar as such
Foreign feelings I have
Knows this much.
As I look around
Confused as to what I see
Not concerned with who they are,
Or what they might be.
Like water and oil on the ground
Not mixing at all
Chemically segregated
Withstanding the rise and fall
Just a fragment of space and time
Acceptance and patience,
For some peace of mind.
The time I’ve spent
Space I’ve taken,
The past gone past,
But dwelling is forsaken,
As the sun shines heat,
The days progress on
Anticipating anything
Even after it’s gone.
I don’t miss the street
I’ve changed for the better.
Consistently will express
And proven with every letter.
As Opportunities unfold
Some over seen
Reflecting finalized decisions
As crucial as it now may seem.
In the past I’ve been told
The world is what you make of it
Making the right decisions is important
For granted, it what I took of it.
