Road To Recovery Still Battling Empty Nest Syndrome 1st Twitter

many a december twenty forth gone by, 
whence wisp of carolers ghosts hauntingly adorn
remembrance of sum...
er things passed along tummy 
from ma late ma alm 

compunction eruption viz:
fruition, gumption interruption 
sans redemption how became re: born
whereby this pop - 
bleary eye lids ready to droop

with his tired bones snapping 
and popping like jimmy crack corn
an immediate need to succumb to sleep 
found me transfixed how blessings did a dorn 
mine attention riveted at shrouded foghorn
echoing...choing...hoing 

never knowing hands of time didst flap
matthew scott harris, 
who yawned avast cingular gap 
countless decades swallowed un hap 
pulley lost soul within early 
twenty something years
devoid of inner GPS to help map 
and guide this stricken n fore lorn future pap
though the hour 
(at time this got written) nsync kin rap
pa head lee well nigh 

closing in on six in the morn 
way before synapses snap
crackle and pop, 
whereby the sage within mine psyche 

waving a finger - tsk tsk - with mild scorn
for forgoing to bed, yet...
a powerful tsunami like force arose up 
when viewing the account of how tara - blank -
became rent asunder and torn
from an terrible accident of fate - 
though a miraculous recovery now worn.

now fast forward to recent past 
receding extremely fast
as if powered by remnant cosmic blast
resulting in avast

blurred montage flickr ring
exercise regimen of running plus lifting weights - 
perhaps so many reps of a curl
finds me applauding, huzzahing, 
and praising daughter's efforts...so you go girl

with all inner strength pell mell into fitness:
disciplining molding, sculpting- yar body hurl
testing your limits to the max
whether across busy urban streets or...
where landscape offers open space with pearl
jam skies - in outlying less populated tracts - 
giving freedom to dance n twirl.
