Best Out Of Focus Poems
When you focus on things beyond your control
Is like dishing up heap of frustration in a large bowl
Pacing back and forth biting your nails
Depression takes the wind right out of your sails
Stress becomes your new best friend
Swimming with anxiety in the deep end
Your mind and body are weak and frail
You feel you are living in the depths of hell
Trying to save the world when nobody cares
Leaves you shaking your head fully aware
You are the one who is spinning your wheels
While they wonder Hmmm what’s the big deal?
So listen to my words and take heed
Ask God to help you to plant the seed
For them to feel the truth of conviction
To turn around and flee from their addictions
And don’t forget to set your focus where it belongs
For only Jesus has the power to right the wrong.
You will find when you give them to the Lord
It releases the pressure and peace is your reward.
His
window
on the world-
her epitaph
read.

so unlikely
your breath on the lens will lessen,
it’s an uneven reminder that,
- you’re the only one
Out of focus

I can see clearly
* * Some choose to look only through the fog * *
The golden micro packs of light in air
A sunken belly of a poor woman
A few people rising still more upstairs
A guy is lashing a dog, inhuman
A little boy has just been run over
The poor mother sobs her heart out in shock
An amazing tulip looking at her
Unable to feel why has stopped her clock
Rush of traffic hurrying in their strife
A dead street dog at the pavement corner
Death a nano drop in the sea of life
Always vibrant in its laughing water
But seriously we hardly think thus
Though your face often fades out of focus

a sepia rose haze
Out of Focus and Atrocious
Pictures we saw were all out of focus;
After looking at they became atrocious;
We concluded,
Were deluded;
Threw them away after being ferocious.
Jim Horn
In
the sky
dreams fade out,
as ambitions
die
Revised ekphrasis of Hollywood by Ed Rischa to complement my blog

a long awaited sun sits in view
where waves wash away the worries of the world
left behind ruins
beneath scars cut from the elixir of life
where we levitate
where destruction demands of time
trapped in trails of temptation
we breed
temptation
in temporary states of mind
but we don't mind
whether we win, we lose, or we die
unfocused
caught up in the focus
of awkwardness
in another's faultless eye
“What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly.” – Richard Bach
In
the sky-
dreams fade out
with the setting
sun.
