Jeff Bresee

A Child Passed By

Long pressing
 
Bears the weight of the falling world around me
 
Over tinkered days and hollowed years
 
Has the growing spiral of downward turn
 
Unwound before my eyes
 
As my heart and mind
 
Have weathered
 
And my soul and will
 
Have crumbled…bit by bit
 
To the sorrowed step of un-kept time
 
And I
 
I have stood as if motionless
 
Looking on
 
While the blackened vines of ignorance
 
And the fettered thorns of foolish greed
 
Have smothered, as would seem, all before me
 
And while I sat in huddled desperation
 
Seeking not but to continue on in mere existence
 
A child passed by…
 
And suddenly I felt to leave all behind
 
And follow

(2009)
