The world you know

Contributed by zedwards on Thursday, 19th November 2009 @ 01:26:42 PM in AEST
Topic: oops

The world you know is changing rapidly fast
You hear the ringing of holiday’s passed
Where arguments are the presents
You cannot return to the store for cash

The world you know is lost
And you wish you could find
The treasure at the bottom of the sinking ship
That once was a family sailing
Beyond the ocean’s compass
To the place where north and south crossed

The world you know is crashed
And you wish you could sink into your past
Where there was no new brother or sister
Forced upon you too fast
Where the flood waters light did not flash
Your arm was not trapped in a cast
And you were in a stable environment
That could flourish and last

The world you know is broken
Your teeth are shattered and your mouth is choking
The place you called home, which once was one
Is now two, two separate places
Where you can find yourself all alone
This is now your home

The world you know is dead
Like a book left upon your shelf unread
For at Thanksgiving you will be passing the turkey
To the stranger who now sleeps in Mommy’s bed
You are the needle hopelessly
Waiting for a strand of thread
To sew back the pieces
That once held together your head

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
