The Lunatic


mental images linger

floating uniformly

behind the eyes as if

seeking asylum from

the mind whose failure

to recognize depression

is the sole reason my

thoughts are still alive;

jibbering away...  a lunatic

on the run, favored not to

place or show...  reminding

us all that time spent is

time served and time served

is not always blessed by

those who put us there...

wind felled trees laugh at

their captors, knowing the

secrets to blow them away;

miles of the sky I have been

through on my travels and

no where am I invited to stay

like I am here...  wondering

if its good fortune or just a

working man's form of escape.
