Lazy

Lazy cares not for sleep,
Contrary to popular belief.
It cares not for the easy life.
Lazy is forever catching up.
Lazy cares not for rest.
Her mind is racing; exhausted.
She hurls herself over the finish line,
EVERY time...
To embrace the other procrastinators.
Silly sweaty Human palms
back, neck, bones, legs
smelly sheets and shiny foreheads
Two whole lives, tangled up in Swedish stitching
the behaviour of the limbs unaccounted for
A maze of senses contained by cotton, linen, sometimes silk
it might be dusk, dawn, daylight, night-time
Who knows? Who cares? Toes are touching
and the sound
that can’t be explained
is every cry and laugh and every life
everyone who ever lived and every creature that has died
So kiss
like a button got pressed and there’s three minutes to live
I wish I had your light with me
So that its warmth would begin to thaw
What is left of my heart of ice
A short one
If you look up at the stars,
Sometimes you'll see many clusters of stars,
But if you keep looking,
You'll find one star by itself,
Shining bright
With only the light of the moon surrounding it.
That is me.
That is my soul.
In a galaxy full of people,
I stand alone.
"Stories been told. I know, you heard
this before.
This has a touch of class that will
be adored.
It happened recently so many of  you
may not have heard.
That's okay, you shall be the last, and
you tears will flow upon your cheeks as
the wings lay down softly on the back
of a hummingbird.
Adam who just received his license to
drive, found himself in a wicked storm.
A blizzard came upon him leaving school on
his way home.
Inexperienced with slick icy roads, his car skidded
into on coming traffic.
You all know the scene. (Graphic)...
Sounds like the end, but this story continues.
So does the Heart of Adam.
The back of his license was stamped, Heart Donor.
As Adam rests in peace, his heart lives in a 57 year
young man we'll name Tyreace.
Tyreace did something special with the permission
of Adam's Mom.
He asked if he could record the beating of Adam's
Heart for Mom to hear. Mom approved.
Later that month they met at the home of Adam.
Mom greeted Tyreace with hugs, and tears.
She was about to place her left ear upon Tyreace's
chest, but Adam quickly backed away.
Mom was puzzled.
Tyreace then reached into a shopping bag pulling
out a beautiful wrapped gift.
He presented it to Mom. Tearing open the wrapped
paper, she opened the 12X12 box.
The cutest white fluffy Teddy Bear with a red heart embroidered
on it's chest, and the name Adam under it.
Mom held it in her arms tears flowing down her face, and
not knowing what was about to happen when she accidentally
squeezed the Teddy Bear face.
The recording of Adam's Heart started to Beat once again
for Mom to hear.
You all know the scene. (Fabulous Joy)."
True story. Only the names differed for protection purposes!!!
