Poetry - Bad News

Bad News

Black swirls around me.
A moment locked in a cell,
while the rest of the world travels freely.
I am lost
in the confusion of:
feelings and logic.
How can a person understand another?
We wait in complacency
What could we even do?
While the world tries to
tear
     us
          apart,
our hands - stay locked.
Striving and flying,
spacing our lives
Inside the plan that
someone else

has for me.



Sometimes, you have feelings that can't come out any other way than a poem.  Thanks for reading my feelings.  We just had some very bad news in the family.  It hit my husband very hard.  We'll cope with it, I'm sure but in the moment (as I am now) I needed something to help me take the feelings out.  I could sing something but it's hard to sing when you're in a public place.  I'll do more poetry on the blog sporadically.  Usually it will be when I have something I need to say.  I'll always try to explain it or give a little snippet afterwards though.
Thanks!
