· In My Corner
- I’ve been there too,
- In the dark corner of existence where light never ventures
- Where the weight of the world presses the walls inward
- Compressing the air, making it difficult to breathe
- Crouched deep in the corner where I can hide from the world
- A glimmer of light sneaks in from behind the shades
- It fades as quickly as it appears
- Like hope, dreams, promises, opportunity and rainbows
- Life is one show after another,
- To all things great and small
- Here comes the rain
- The battle of heaven and earth, the endless struggle
- The roaring thunder, the piercing energy of the lightening and
- The cleansing water falling, washing the stench of the world
- Into the sewers
- In the wake of the destruction, the battle ends
- As the heavens and earth subside
- I peek out my window to look for the last traces of the battle
- A rainbow and a pot of gold
- At that point I remember two things:
- If I can see them, then they can see me, and
- Rainbows don’t come to my neighborhood, only the rent man.
- ONLY THE RENT MAN!!
- I hope he didn’t see me; I must get back to my corner.
