ONE MORE POEM BORN



I don't long for the past that swings and rings
I don't care for the future I color with
empty wishes  prayers  and  meditation

dream's dark inspiration carves the present
I suffer more at night than in the day
breathe hell seeking freedom in the body

through friends in spirit turn sanguine despite
the tricky degeneration in shared life
one more day passes   one more poem born
