   My mind, my ever present being,
   is sucked into the sea.
   Control drifts away in a gray haze,
   alien forces manipulate the someone I'm not.
   I float away with the tide as the
   sea calms its forces.
   Birds herd overhead add to the
   space of the present calm.
   My mind and matter turns to jelly
   along with my tide of calm and cool relief.
   Down I go with gentle ease,
   the end finds way to a new beginning.

The sun orange and radiant, shines its beam
that embodies the very spirit of my life.
Night brings on the moon thus
setting me free to roam till dawn.

           WHO ARE WE KIDDING

   Finally

   someone I subconsciously wanted
   but
   she said no
   and

   I echoed her sentiments

   Now
   that someone
   is like the toy in the window
   the week before the Christmas
   your father died;
   Mom said No, then too
