Wanted

Post by creativesoul » March 26th, 2018, 10:18 pm

She loved gangsters
Once she lost her children to child protective services
On Kaua’i- her mother and father “ got them back”
She had two more w/ a new guy that is off meth
Now
After 15 years: he will raise the boys
She made $
She was fearless
And now she loses her children
And hr freedom for ten years
What could I say to her?
Put $ on the books?
I do not know what to do here
reason is over rated, as is logic and common sense-i much prefer the passions of a crazy old woman, cats and dogs and jungle foliage- tropic rain-and a defined sense of who brings the stars up at night and the sun up in the morning---

I stood between her and one of her drug buddies once
Grabbed a computer out of her hand
Her mother asked me to help
I had no idea what I accepted
My friend died
And now her daughter is going to jail for ten yesrs

gut wrenching life...
we are often thrust into things
we couldn't have possibly imagined
i remember asking this old black guy
how he was doing

his reply to my 20 something self
was, "I'm just trying to grow old gracefully."
I didn't quite understand it then
but I haven't forgotten his words
and now i have to say...i truly get it.
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading

Blessed to be alive
I cannot call that bAck
I need to walk away
Way back
When I was young
I could be there
And be ok
But my skin talks to me now

memories
could of beens
truth requisite
how to find a way
through the past
to the present
and know
could not of been any other way
just make it good
today
There is no empty space
