For POETS UNITED ~ Poetry Pantry #218 ~ My World Is Where I Am ~

-

My world is where I am,
sorting the real and the scam

amid visions of the recent dreams
haunting the mind in flashes
sounds dull and fierce screams,
time feels still and time fast flies
I try to stop the tears and the cries.
In vain, my world crumbles

As in my dreams I stumble
          As thunder roars across the skies,
‘I have a dream” Ah
And I had dreams, I am a dream,
I dream in pain, as down came the rain


My world , flooded to the brim
Chances of survival , thin and grim
I struggled and gasped for breath

A muddy slushy powerful gush
Of Death, reigned supreme,
A loud shout again a sharp scream
Twists and turns and a sudden hush!

Life was still ,
 warm was the blood,


I woke up
And I understood-The Lord was Merciful !
The Lord is Merciful !
Someone needs me I must stay

And I had time to be better and do more Good.

We do have to keep our dreams & our hopes. I like the thought that "Someone needs me I must stay." That is a powerful reason to live!

A great way to express a personal version of "A Christmas Carol." I liked it.

For POETS UNITED Midweek Motif ~ Summer Solstice ~ The Earth Stands Still ~

The Earth stands still while we say tis the Sun up all day, shining stronger getting hotter come what may, who  can put a shade across tis not a car that you drive in  so you can cover the windscreen and block the heat- how days become long and nights become short,when the heart is heavy and grief is strong,when blood spills spurts spreads and flows,strange power shows,slows time dragging it to a still point,Earth seems stilled- as is the breath of a loved one,who feels the heat or cold when guns are sold to all,the license to shoot and kill is handed as protection,who is protecting who is killing?  acceptance and non-acceptance is in the inner will' Unreal cities,unreal people, so unlike what we expect War war and again war-when will it end,terror strikes Shelter is scarce, fashion abounds and all is a show off!  young dead glorified on the mini screen,dying for respect for what now? half the barren land, minerals in rang...
