bright green in a colorless world

by Charlie Morgan




tonight i am seeking
but cannot find
any answers to the questions
that are binding my mind.

as i lay here weary
yet moving about
my mouth seems frozen
my heart in doubt.

not really knowing the whys
for the things that i feel,
makes me question my reasons
for believing i'm real.

to realize that i may not
be happening at all,
pulls tears from my eyes
as a babe might bawl.

on this sojourn alone
with no map as a guide,
must be a blessing, yet
why must it hide?

taking leave of my body
my emotions i permit,
to touch those around me
with the tenderest hit.

We truly are all islands in the stream..no one feels our pain or pleasure..no one can truly walk a mile in our shoes..it's a solitary trek that can often leave you more than alone..but then it passes and we move along - Nicely done Chuck - RCat

chaz ~ you truly touched me with this one ~ I can't even begin to speak of the way this piece made me feel ~ I don't think I have ever felt like I "fit" in ~ thank you so much for this ~ shon <><

Ah, but if you are not real then I am not real and I am as real as there is Charlie. I may not like my real but it is all I have and I will live with it until the end what ever that might be. Our surface realities may appear to be different but they are unimportant except to us and maybe that is enough. But it should not be enough to keep us apart. I will follow you anywhere and look at life through your eyes if you give them to me. I only ask that you try the same. You keep put pieces together one at a time as we all must with or without a map. A jigsaw puzzle called reality. Take care.
