The Day After paradise

by 

my mind says

it wasn’t real

never happened

all those smiling people
all those laughing kids

dawn to dusk good times

a dream that never was

wandering the state fair of happiness
ears buzzing
listening
amazed

to descriptions of the goings on

clowns on stilts
racing clowns on tricycles
beaming parents chasing joyous kids

here Daddy!

this one Mom!

family at its finest

and all the while
mouth watering aromas
tickling my tonsils
ice cream dripping down our shirts
amped up music pounding hot summer air





dancing like nobody was watching

because being blind means I can’t see you

and so , you can’t see me

no, my mind tells me a day later

I don’t deserve heaven

too good

too much

no way

it never happened

but

I smile

fingering the ticket stub

Promises

by 
I told myself things would be so
I made this promise years ago

yet, in the waining of my days
that youthful zeal has lost its gaze

the hopes, the dreams of star crossed eyes
buried under life’s goodbyes

but I was loved
held heart close
by angels whom I treasured most

for when I came to be
another promise made to me
a force beyond what I could see
has filled my life with ecstasy

Lookout

by

a sudden urge
and I was gone
to climb  a trail
to search beyond

as sun and peaks
glowed into one
I found the fate
that pulled me on

wind worn and bent
steel towered high
Ancient lookout
time gone by

just me and God
as day met night
Up stairs I rose
to Heaven’s sight

surrounded vast
a mountain sea
rose peaks
of iced immensity

new friends appeared
to fill dark skies
sparkling lights
of timeless eyes

Cocooned and snug
With peeping head
I set sail on
my cosmic bed
