    Wellspring

     See how my life has slowly begun to trickle
    down the granite slab of flawed humanity
    in hope of finding an even plane on which
    to lay my weary heart.
    What do I do when love has become a sickle
    with which it cuts my soul away and insanity
    is put in place of logic and my eyes twitch
    as if someone has thrown a dart?
    Compassion and conscience are lost in a void
    where light has no power and peace is null
    and chances of return begin to fade away
    in a wellspring of doubt.
    Can there be a way for me to try and avoid
    an existence that is woefully lost and full
    of a sense of dread and despair that may
    result in a primal shout?

    Bring back the days where I can look forward to sunlight.





    B Heath Harris/(c) 2009

    Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
