Taken Away

spreadeagled on my back,
the diamond stars
dust the black:
just when I think they’ll show the way,
the sun brings on the day.
stealing kisses and sipping wine
why can’t it always be so fine:
just when I think you’re here to stay,
chance takes it all away.
the winds keep screaming
and the rain falls hard,
the heat and drought
show no regard:
just when I think I can make it pay,
the weather strips it all away.
dustbowl depression
and high water blues,
I don’t want to walk
in these shoes:
just when I think I’ve won the day,
the night comes and takes it away
it all gets taken away.

| The true lament of the reality of life. Yet within the pain of destruction comes the tiny ray of possibilities. I liked the imagery and the path your words took the reader on. Very nice write. Thank you for sharing, P |

Hi Spike,
Temporary beings living temporary lives.
Why is nothing forever - except the promised
eternity that, apparently, you could die for?
Nice piece, as always.
