not a bad view

the view from Hell
isn't so bad
I can see you dancing with the angels
and singing so sweetly,
your songs of forgiveness

I'm sometimes surrounded
by a great dust cloud
and there is garbage all around me
and I can't see out

that's when its worse
when I can't see you
and the view from Hell
isn't so good

but I keep going,
hoping that through it all
I've made you happy
through my constant anguish and pain
through my yearning for even near-sanity
through it all, I just hope
hope that I've made a better life for you
and that someday you will understand
the sacrifice I made for you
as I watch you, little one, from Hell, singing with the angels
The most remarkable thing about you standing in the doorway, is that its you, and that you're standing in the doorway.

I write down good reasons to freeze to death in my spiral ring notebook. But in the long tresses of your hair--I am a babbling brook.

    such pained words, such soft meaning.... sadness mixed with sprinkles of beauty and loving.

    you did it again, pat. :)
