Hello everyone;
I did say "haphazardly" participating in the April PAD Challenge. This is why day one is being posted after day two.
Day 1 prompt of "write an optimistic poem"
Not Dead Yet, Me
Is it really such a tragedy
that my sentences are raggedy
words tread together by similarity?
The conversation is still defiantly
expressions of me.
Is it really such a travesty
that I wander aimlessly?
When I can travel through time so easily
…our life history
…a life lived outrageously.
Is it really such a disparity
that I have forgotten the melody
of your name? Still there’s some clarity….
I know the feelings of family
and passions intensity.
Is it really such an indignitythat something once familiar is now a novelty.
Or that simple tasks escape me.
I still dance to life’s jamboree
and sing majestically.
Is it really such a finality
even as I become more absentee?
There is plenty of life in my legacy.
Don’t bother writing my eulogy,
when there’s still time to create a memory.

Love’s Sweet Interruption
Lost in an inner world
the outside world is an interruption
ensnaring hearts in isolation.
Love jumps the hurdles
that muddle autism’s path,
helping one become a couple.
The story makes the news
and travels the nation
soon they will say their “I do’s !”
A mother’s fear flees
in a gust of hope. Her own son’s
tender passions… a possibility.
An agreement between life and love…
fulfillment in every realm.
giving solitude a shove.
