Sentiment - By Bob Atkinson
Sentiment
- by Bob Atkinson
please help me
decide for real
how an idea of merit
makes me feel
a scheme packed deep
within my head
of simple memories
regenerated
sentiment begins to
percolate
as if music playing
on background images
flowing in toward,
or flowing out of
touch
deep within some
dormant seed of
doubt
how far could a
feeling go
if left unchecked,
on its own to grow
how long can we hold
emotion in
if an idea lay
scorned, branded
invisible
sentiment resolves
that guilty rage
a folded notion or
well meant statement
forever trading
remorse for
vindication
as it serenely
captures then emotes
