If all...
You’re known for in this life
Is loving someone
The right way
Just one
And you put all the distractions
Temptations
Sinful nature
Of us
Away

You are brave
Truly

Enjoy that

My dream last night
My children
11 and 16 now
In the dream my son
Was 4 again
And he was sobbing
Uncontrollably
Told him to catch his breath
Kept ******* air
Trying to explain
Why he was wronged
But only tears came out
So I held him
Close to my chest
And he fit
And it subsided
And he just let it out
Then the smell of them as babies
Came upon me
How they’d sleep on me
My chest
How I love being a dad
They live with their mom a mile
From me
But it might as well be a
Million
And now I’m sobbing uncontrollably
******* air
With no one to
Tell me it’s going to
Be ok...
The sadness is so overwhelming this morning

Metal strewn about...
Fires of jet fuel reek the air...
Intermittent
A shoe
Seat 12A
Tray table
Heat from fuel pit
Raging
Zombies walking about
Dazed
Survivors
Smeared with black
Seats 17C & 24B
Still strapped in
Just torsos
&
A tie
Fuselage
Upside down
Body part unidentifiable
Papers
Came down in cornfield
Scorched earth
Yellow inflatables strewn
Crumpled
Caved in
Inferno
Sunlight peeking thru...
5,000 pieces
How could anybody survive this?

In the game of love
It isn’t who races the fastest
To get to you who wins
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
But the one who stays
While all the others
Leave
After the race
Is over...

While poets faced firing squads...
Cowards lived well past 100 years old...
Eric the Red Apr 2018
Over the billions of years...
I just happen to come across
The most beautiful
Space Dust
Ever created

What were the chances?
**** that woman is her own
Galaxy
