Land of the Living

Watched like a fool time grew bars around me. A trapped mind screamed “too late to escape"! Blocked by my last run it brought me here. Now I stand a lesser man. What I looked for “I'll never find'! The land of the living is killing my mind.

John, you are still in the "land of the living." Thoughts and images cannot be confined by bars! You make a fine addition to the wonderful family here at Poetry Soup. Thank you for choosing to share with us. Best wishes, Carolyn
