Mrs. Yolanda Nicholsen Poet Masnavi

The Lantern at USF Neurology traumatic brain injury and me

Divided under the cities 
streams mapping decisive 
endings while toiling about 
the beginning boldness 
reaching for braising 
characters galloping 
amidst a certain angst 
we’ve devoured nothingness 
and opened the sky 
with truth thrashing 
tempers meaningful tools 
craving an emptiness 
above the continuous 
Bayshore a quiet offering 
pelicans landings sinking 
yet surrounding the 
jaded light house that 
withered to soon exposing 
only the dim lantern leaning 
to one side still brightening 
the rippling waves
