Meditation on Myself
By the light of dawn
Among alabaster clouds
Stalled above lush lawn
Bipolar mind crocheting
Another daquiri green lie
Swollen legs
Right peg with
Brace, boot, shoe and walker
Prepared for God's stalker
Wound on right
Bloody but tight
A year in this nursing home bite
An emotional fight
No money
Soon to lose my place
What about my honey
With this handsome face?
Often thoughts of the end
Bend through my swollen mind
Like a breeze
The forest unkind
Weeping and wondering what
Happened to the man I once knew
Happy as a Mardi Gras crew
Fearing the future
Like but a few
Tearing my dreams at the seams
I am so blue
Seeing black where they observe light
Soaring through hell high as a kite
Trusting everyone and no one
My God given right
Trust
Trusting God
Kneeling in a pew
Eating stew
Trusting my fiance
Animated as an anime
Sensitive as a little girl
Trusting my mother
Forever the actress
Breaking down straight away
To her getaway
Trusting my father
Ball of doubt
Reason and logic
Ever so stout
Trusting Jesus
His bloody cross
Fragile as moss
Trusting myself
Forever strong
Talent long
Without so much as a bong
Trusting my cousin
The therapist
Pulling me out of the mist
With an unusual list
Raising a clenched fist
Trusting my friend
The nursing assistant
Telling me the truth
From a parking booth
Adoring my front tooth
Like Vermouth
