How tragic for those
who must walk in the rain
of their own tears
Tears that have been shed so hard
they fall red with blood
For the grief of loss
can so brutally harm the grief-stricken
they are counted
among the living dead

We are all part
of each other’s puzzles
Many of which would be incomplete without that piece
that is you
You may feel broken
but, you are a part of an even greater whole
The enigma that is us

Those who see the flaws in flowers
may marvel at their gift of sight
But, they stumble
in a world of darkness
Unwitting victims of too much light

These precious flowers
were mad with glee
Having a party
because they were free
To sway with ease
in a summer breeze
I could have sworn
were waving at me

I am a heathen
who went vegan
and I’m not allowed to have meat
Tried the vegetable juice
and now I'm reduced
to searching for food in the street
They found me at dawn
on somebody's lawn
seasoning the boots on my feet
and to my dismay
I heard the cops say
boots are not what vegans can eat!
Really not far from the truth when I first started down this path

To be so blessed
as to sleep so sound
To sleep so sound
as to greet each day
with all it deserves
and let come what may
Tom D Jul 6
This man was much worse
than a spendthrift of time
unaware of what truly mattered
He wasted his words
full of worry and regret
then wore them
as clothes torn and tattered
