One O' Dem Days

Today I've been having one of those days. The day that you just can't seem to get on track. It has been a disjointed, unfocused, walking around in a haze, kind of day. I am going to try to use this sensation to create some words. What follows is an original work, made up as I go along. I hope it don't suck LOL.


I am here, but I'm not really here
I'm so far away though it looks like I'm near.
Like hot air shimmering ahead on the road
Heat pressure building, about to explode
Into nothingness radiates out of my head
Faces come 'round when I sleep in my bed
When I wake still their memory lingers
Peripheral just beyond the tips of my fingers
Fade like the day into senses-dulled haze
Reality check sometimes seems like a phase
There are people I miss as I continue my path
While others stay clear lest they meet with my wrath
I'm Baron, and Terry, but most of all Dad
My kids bring me back when I start feeling bad
Colleen and Josh, you're the children of dreams
The Gods truly blessed me with you two it seems
As I write now the smiles' returned to my face
Their thoughts cleared my head and returned me from space

See you when I see you.
Baron
