Set adrift.
Surrounded on all sides,
a man stands, aloof,
proof of his arrogance.
There is an ignorance
that precedes him,
An apathy that defines him.
Lost in a sea of self-import,
he'll resort to anything
to make his point. Annointed
in his mind, he will soon find
a need. Lessons of a life,
rife with pitfall and valleys,
he'll someday rally. Treading water.
Clutching to the life preserver called hope.
Survival awaits, as long as he stays afloat.

... and hope does not disappointment. I don't know if this is personal commentary, but it surely strikes the heart. You amaze me. (But you knew that)
ReplyDeleteFunny, but no. Not a personal commentary (not all of it anyway). You know me, just attacking the prompt from all angles. Striking the heart is what I do (but YOU knew that). Don't be too amazed, Dear. I am just a man who realized long ago that he was not an island. But thank you for that.
