Best Visionarydog Poems
Four millimeters of tempered glass separates your world
from the Homeless Beggar Prince now standing before you
appearing tattered, torn and trampled on like discarded trash.
No longer a viable phoenix rising to escape winter’s burn.
Merely a grounded mortal traversing icicle stares with an
aged back and fingers that he had once worked to the bone.
Long forgotten building blocks for a house and a home
Blizzards came tirelessly with every season to wreak havoc upon his
crumbled foundation. Putting him out into the cold to face the face, of our
harsh reality, where it’s a tundra full of thin ice, and a dog eat dog world.
Piercing watery eyes reflect upon your hidden self, and his frost
laden beard parts to say aloud “If not by the grace of God…there go I.”
White knuckles grip your steering wheel tightly as the chill exits your spine
“Thank God!” you exclaim, now, that the traffic light has turned green.
How can this be, I think to myself,
My life is now changing, ever changing.
Sensing myself lifting into the air and no longer upon a shelf.
New dimensions, I seem to be forever transcending.
Not only me but others likewise, building something new.
As if they are also headed for better days.
As I read the scriptures I see something commented upon but by few.
Which shows an evolution of mankind out of his daze.
I see mankind coming out a dog eat dog philosophy
And headed towards a spirit of cooperation in life's forward struggle.
No longer, trying to grab what the other has won with such difficultly.
But, creating something of one's own with one's own skill, so surely.
Then standing back and smiling as another creates something new and great.
Then once again we all move forward again, inspired by each other's new day.
Then one and all can admire each other's great feat.
Where one and all can with pomp and circumstance run out and play.
