WHY ME?

Why me?
I go swimming every week
So my legs won’t feel tired or weak.
Don’t know why my legs have to swell.
A disease created in hell.

Why me?
A bigger nuisance there can’t be.
It makes life much harder for me.
Humidity is my enemy
As I cry out, “Stay away from me.”

Why me? 
I want to begin a day feeling well.
That’s why I have this story to tell.
Life has these hurdles we must overcome.
Most of them aren’t any kind of fun.  

Why me?
This question has no answer for me.
It is just the way things have to be.
My father suffered from this in quiet.
I will follow his lead and not riot.

A LEAP OF FAITH

A LEAP OF FAITH

Take a leap with me.

A leap of faith into the unknown.

Whom can you trust?

Is there anyone in your life

that you can trust with yours?

A hard question to ask.

An even harder one to answer.

GO AWAY LYMPHEDEMA!

GO AWAY LYMPHEDEMA!

THE PHONE CALL

The phone call.

I’ve been on hold

for a long time.

Years have passed.

But I’m still waiting.

One day I will have

my answer.

One day someone will

answer me.

But I will keep waiting

until the end of time.

THE QUESTION

What is reality?

Do we see what is

actually around us?

Or is there a another reality?

A reality that we can’t see;

that we aren’t ready to see yet.

Will it ever come into focus?

Into a clarity that will reveal all.

The reason for our existence.

The reason for the world

as we know it.

Look closer.

Peer through the murkiness.

Find your own reality.

TO BE OR NOT TO BE

TO BE OR NOT TO BE

To be or not to be a writer.
This has been the hardest question for me.
Should I continue with my pursuit?
Or step away and claim defeat?
One book written.
One book sold.
It dances around on Amazon and Nook.
It reaches new heights in its niche
And then it slowly bows its head in silence.
The highs feel good and lofty,
While the lows feel depressing and sad.
Is it worth it? 
Is it worth the aggravation?
I am told that a writer must keep writing.
More books to dance around.
More highs and lows.
Should I keep doing this?
Will I keep doing this? 
Yes, for now
As I wait for the next high.

ARE THERE OTHERS?

atraversso:

Flying by Davide Arizzi

What is out there?
Are we all alone
in this universe?
Are there others?
Other life forms
on planets far away.
Looking out at their sky
and asking the same question:
Are there others?
