The Trails of Sanity

The Trails of Sanity

Why do I care if the disturber carries on
Why is it I cannot just wait it out, bide my time
Be more mindful, try and bond
Embrace what I don’t understand
Welcome the scorching taste in my mouth
I wait, I watch, and watch and wait
what seems a millennium
The afterglow of embers still burn
Just sit tight…

(Series: Half of the dream broke with her)


Eve was a golden fruit in his tree
But ere years will pass
You’ll be the first in my history
For you’ve lived in me a million years.
When I raise my eyes to the sky to see what is bothering me
The worries - sorrows & afflictions boarding me 
I see your

Imagine! She lived in a China for five years
And come back asking me
“How are your knees?
But see here child
They are as strong as ever
If you please
“Oh no Mama
I’m only speaking Chinese”

Yesterday, I heard her said
To Paster Ned
“Come saw me da”
I got so embarrassed
I had to tell him “Sorry ya”
Later, I told her don’t do it
