Mark Doyle Poet Blank verse

When Reason Wont Work

I cant see and I cant hear
Caught between the hard rock and the sea
I cant run and I cant hide
I feel the incoming tide
Surround me on all sides

I cant breath and I cant think
I feel my feet begin to sink
Beneath the rocks below the sand
I need some help  I need a hand

I cant reach and I cant hold
I losing my grip on it all
I cant talk and I cant shout
I lost my voice somewhere out .. there

I feel the world begin pull at my hair, fallen to my knees
 somewhere out there, 
someone answer to my ….please

When did all this noise begin to 
start, all these words to strike the heart
All those people who take the toll
The ones to please the ones who sold
Kindness for a wage, the gentle word for the rage

I stare in silence I look in pain
What have I got to gain
Let the sea carry me away
let the stones begin to weigh
..and carry me away..

Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
