Dragged

Dragged

Unseen force with Life’s hard grip,
dragging him through dusty sands.
The path behind choked by hope,
no fight or will tighten torn hands.

Plowed debris churns against him,
piled long before the current course.
Limp and yielding each grain burns,
ferocious vocal challenge is hoarse.

Dragged over loose mummified earth,
suffered thorns, stones, creature things.
Each defilement an old friend of scorn,
punished as he was finding his wings.

Soar supported by romantic formation,
constant view of paradise mountains.
Write and increase life's lovely offering,
water to lips from Smile’s own fountains.

Caress petals and moist kiss in flower,
with curves, hollows, valleys and peaks.
Eyes bright alight and licking the sight,
reside in the joy that high wonder seeks.

Too much mummified sand in the way,
crusts of despair clogging all his senses.
His will gathers another helping of him,
It needs to climb Desire To Live’s fences.

He knows the pulling will be finalized,
sometime along this path’s persistence.
Not disrespectful enough to the gardens,
he will engage a tiny strong resilience.
