last year
i discovered
ren
music
personified
he is
an example
an inspiration
to many
he
understands
because
he
has been
there
where?
in those
dark
scary
recesses
of
your
mind
he has
been there
and
back again
his
suffering
was
so much
more
than
mine
he has
been there
and
back again
if he can deal with
his health challenges
then
surely i can endure
mine as well
if only
i
knew
how
how? ren
he is
a musical map
back
to
sanity
this is
what it means
to be
inspirational

I rage
In frustration
I cry
in frustration
talking
is the
beginning
of the storm
a few
dark clouds
from a
few
forgotten words
I knew
ten
seconds ago
the storm intensifies
an attempted
story
explanation
question
answer
yet
comprehension
is a rare jewel
still
hidden
in
the
mud
too fast
too slurred
too loud
too quiet
not enough patience
not enough words
not enough listeners
not enough time
the tornado begins
and ends the same
with a rush of
inability
and
embarrassment
and
wonder
why
I am
too frequently
the source of
mine

two cars depart
a path we know
like the back
of our hands
a beginning expected
no hint of
what was to come
the threshold
of familiarity
suddenly breached
the look of confusion
I feel echoes on his face
as I drive by
two cars separate
one turns
the other straight
fog fills my brain
overflowing
into the world
around me
my thoughts
flood with indecision
forward or back
known or unknown
both shrouded
an eternity passes
I turn around
head back to
where I came from
the vanished threshold
more fog in its place
I follow the confused face
an inkling of a memory
a single building emerges
a beacon of light
beyond the beacon
a choice to be made
almost but not quite
I spy an empty lot
I must do what I dread
I place the call
I try to explain
my journey continues
two cars reunite
a little less hazy
a little less confused
a lot more concerned
the beginning
of the end
of my driving
