Joe (short, so very short)

Postby Icarus » Thu Mar 18, 2004 2:53 pm

If you read "The Rejects" in my poetry thread, this is the Joe that I mentioned.

___________________________
As I stood in the dried river bed, I watched heat waves shimmet off the distant mountains. My immediate surroundings looked like this: cracked mud, weed, cracked mud, weed, cracked mud, weed... Now, you may not believe me, but when I saw that third weed, I freaked. I forgot about the warm wind at my back, did a one-eighty, and ran.

Consequently, I got a facefull of dirt when I tripped over another weed. As I got up, I took the time to brush off my clothes and shoes. I walked the rest of the way home.

Now that I'm here, I'll tell you the reason that I freaked. I'm scared of weeds more than two inches. If they're less than that, I pull them up, no matter how good the look (Incendenally, they looked beautiful in that setting).The reason I mentioned the breeze is because there was dust on it. here is what happened: I turned, and the wind blew dust in my yes. I closed them, and the rest you know.

My shrink says that I have a very rare condition, which I've forgotten the name of. My parents are embarrassed. Me? I'm terrified. Do you know how many weeds there are?

Joe is not my name.

LOL, that was cute, Icarus. Is there more to this?

[size=84][color=seagreen]YOU SEE


You see into the deepest part of me ---

beyond the fog I hide behind.

You cast your light upon the shadows

that stretch like cobwebs in my mind.

You ease the pain when I am hurting,

and morbid visions from my past

pierce into the realm of Reason

as though I danced on blades of glass.

You grant me strength when I have fallen

and, once again, I've lost my way.

You take my hand in Yours and lead me

into the promise of a brand new day.

You bring order to all my chaos,

yet set my well-laid plans awry.

You place me on a firm foundation ---

then give me wings so I can fly.

You sand away my roughened edges

and polish all the dullest parts

until I stand before Your presence...

a newly-sculpted work of art.

You see into the heart within me,

right through my motives and selfish will.

And yet, in spite of all You see

You say You love me even still.
