insinuation of refrain

preoccupied.

unavailable.

agenda –

over-full… 


it seems we simply exist –

to exist.


black and white priorities muted to obligations of grey.

we enter auditoriums of suppose,

yet exit before encores of know.


ignorant to ownership of capability –

obtusely self-absorbed!


with characters flawed from addictions to same,

we fall in line –

paupers by convenience –

reciting litany’s to camouflage our disdain.

and yet,

when offered avenues of alteration,

deny with apoplectic revulsion

accommodation to insinuation of refrain.


obedient, we have become,

to complacency.

prisoners to indifference –

unaware we hold keys

to the locks of our self-imposed commonalit

afterthought

shackled by the awesomeness of you –
i stand in shadow –
waiting for the lightning crash,
the thunder roll,
the storm – inevitable – to pass…
 
there is no – just because –
with you,
no almost –
no doubt!
you oh so effortlessly over-fill the cup,
sweep the refuse from the waste
of – nearly –
aside.
walk right up to indecision –
unafraid –
un-denied!
 
if i could have one wish –
one dream come true –
to be as much as even half of you –
to run through fields of confidence,
toss chaos to the wind,
open – with purpose –
the pages of life –
release the doubt,
the fear of – not enough!
 
for just one day –
to be the – axis,
not merely the passenger –
the reason,
no longer – just the afterthought…
