Just outside my window

Dogs barking,
Birds chirping
Thunder roaring,
From beyond,
Echoing in my mind,
Horizon reborn,
Once again,
Looking towards another day,
Mind alert,
As the hand of god,
Drips ink deep into the sky,
Paintings bleeding,
Dreams fading,
Life,love,lust,
Remaing true,
Etched upon the psyche ,
Reality succumbs,
Tattooed souls,
Tattered hearts,
Rebuilding dreams,
Splashing remnants,
Just a small part,
Time  conceptual,
Turning,churning,gyrating,
Expanding,contracting­,
Universal chaos,
Surrounds this world,
Oh so blind
Eyes tightly shut
Life left behind
Sitting,listening,
To nature sing,
Beautiful,
Melodies  filled with bliss,
Open ones eyes,
Look deep within
Your surroundings,
Let go…………….

I feel a glimmer
of hope,
as I stand here,
nervous as hell
on a cold October night,
reciting,
what some consider poetry,
to a few,
as I watch you sitting there,
sipping green tea,
absorbing my broken words,
for just a second,
I am part of you,
as I stand here,
reciting bad poetry,
just a little,
less nervous,
on this cold ,
October night.
