[hometext] => -Something I wrote when our heat went out on a very cold night. Hope it brightens your day-
[bodytext] => A young boy took prescription pills to keep his thoughts at bay But when his thoughts outran his doctor's plan, they only wondered who to blame Anxious allegations aviated through the air As the young boy packed possessions, took a night train out of there He stumbled on a cottage, which he chose to call his own It was nearing half past midnight, and nobody seemed at home Suicidal winds all gnashed and thrashed about, As schizophrenic thunderstorms all laughed and cried aloud Against the young boy's cottage, in attempts to knock it down The night was cold and pitiless, and the whole world seemed at war And the young boy cried in fear of that the worst was yet in store As the young boy felt the fear begin to rise within himself, A tiny dove flew through the keyhole, up the stairs, into the shelves The young boy tailed the tiny bird, his eyes followed the frantic dove And they kept each other company, 'til the morning came and the storm was gone Now time and time again they say an old man walks about Through the park, along the waterside, and coos a lovely sound He coos until a tiny bird emerges from the trees And sweetly flies around his friend, in envy of the bess And all the world seems beautiful for that one moment in time In reflection of the violent past the bonded both their lives. -Steven Vernak SoulDharma, PLEASE: To help keep this site INTERACTIVE, please read and comment on at least 3 poems by our other authors for each one you submit.
