The BlunT Needle!
One day
The thick coat of white paint on the antique vanity
Cracks and reveals a color not seen before
And searching the drawers of the soul
With sore fingers, lean and long
You are stung by a blunt needle
And the pain that once drew blood
Has lost its sting somehow
A faint fog rises from the memory
And trails off like smoke
Into a blanket of mist that disappears
When you run to look--
It fades to the fringes of life....
Like the sound of traffic when hearing the news
Like an obsolete invention
Like a king who wasn't evil, but just bad
Like a previous tenant
Like the heroics at the office when life draws to an end
Like the keys and the birthdays
Like a bland meal, but the price was right
Like autumn when it snows
Forgiveness built a house in the land of forgetfulness
Where earthly pains are dust on the wings of a moth
Shaken off on it's way towards light
And Wisdom......
