There is a Way

Jerry Bradford aka Jerry Atrixx on Apr 15, 2011

Suspended in mid stride, a surreal life. with marbles for eyes and still he died.

There is a way

The invader’s evil cape flag signals our escape

As daylight slips

The nighttime replaces the Sun’s day

The Moon becomes our light

I hear the danger ring out

Near water’s edge

And soon I am afoot and eager to flee

With everyday the pressures take my air

I ponder the world

That is here but not really there

and realize that I am still distant

The stories tell of cold circles that will grow

Words being uttered and judgments muttered

and the focal point is who I do not know

But I am nothing what would someone want with me?

With everyday the pressures takes my air

I ponder my place

and realize that I am still distant

With everyday the pressures takes my air

When all that I see suffocates

Still I am not alone although I seem to be

One day soon a change will come about

for some, for me, for us

The things I will be able to do and clearly see

Will be life like I know and I trust

and I want that, wish for that hungrily happily

I like the phrase “the stories tell of cold circles”. I can feel the speaker’s struggle in this piece. It’s interesting to note that the longing is done hungrily — with urgency perhaps — but with happiness. Indeed, there is a way. There will always be.

Change is good…. if everything stayed the same life would be dull indeed…

Stress and the pressure of a world going down hill can do that to a person. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks gang. Actually this poem was written in the 3rd person.

Personally I have a great deal of hope.
