    Leak

    It seeps.....
    It leaks and drains away,escaping the very basin it was made for.
    I have found no cure. No caulking nor glue or old wives remedy to seal it in.
    So I struggle, struggle to maintain. Hasten my step to fill, pouring in as much of any mixture I may. Praying to at the least the very least preserve the level it is currently at.
    Yet the more I work at this it seems the faster it begins to drip.
    It's leaking.... seeming miniscule and unthreatening.
    But there is a fracture and it's through this opening that I am losing it.
    My mind has found a way to leave me and everyday I feel the loss.
    The reality I once knew to be filled with scholars and intellects, has begun to blur and mix with the mundane.
    At a time I had found sheperds now all i find is sheep, and all the while it's leaving me.
    I just don't understand!
    Where in my life did I do such a wrong to deserve this punishment?
    Who or what did i abuse to begin to lose the one tool worth keeping in the shed?
    HELP MEEEEEEEE...........
    A cry heard only by it's own echo.
    Thoughts have begun to cruise through the empty space looking to exploit the crack.
    " Space 4 Rent" Reads the sign left by reason and I tremble to think what may occupy it next!

    pathos is the handmaiden to creativity/empathy. I really like this poem! the feeling doesn't seem to leave with age, nothing you can "grow through", but in a pendulum kind of way, it can be taught to direct itself, even if mundane, to sharoen your pen. it's like a headache: sometimes embracing it is the best cure. keep on writing, you are heard. (note...shepHerd sp.)

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
