Can I introduce you to Laurie?
.... he has given permission for me to show his face
and a work of art he has created.
A poem.
In fact he has just completed a full book ready -
and wondrously ready for publication.
The series of poems are a journey through his unique life
including some major disasters
which he has faced and come strong -
massive.
He is a beautiful human.
Reading the one item below may help you think ........
HIS TRUTH ANOTHER DAY!He’s like the sea in motion:His anger comes in waves.How He wishes at times He couldn’t see!Life troubles His mind:This world and the next;At times He feels insane!He searches His soul,He climbs from pain to pain!What are the answers He craves?Judging by the state of our world affairs:He thinks we may be better off in graves!He wishes He, was blind,But He’s not!His truth is His,And only His to bare:What is yours?Do you care?He asks, “what is life”;Do you?So long as you get your paycheque,Are you no longer Blue?It’s not like that for Him,He feels naked!He doesn’t find the answers in cash!He hates it!He gasps!He sees life:He sees it all,He sees love!He sees shame!He’s lived.He knows He’s lived.He sees fear:He sees faith,He sees disgrace!His peace hides behind His pain!And in a few occasional precious moments,He feels His worth.But in His life He sees dirt,And he sees greed:And He hates it,But He owns it:And it is a part of Him!And we live!And we die!He’s like the sea in motion:His anger comes in waves.How He wishes at times He couldn’t see!Life troubles His mind:This world and the next;At times He feels insane!He searches His soul,He climbs from pain to pain!What are the answers He craves?He smilesAnd says, “He’s fine”:And in returnHe asks, “how are you”:And you lie too,And say, “I’m fine”!He’s troubled!But He cares!He’s scared!But He dares!And Through His Pain He Grows!Laurie Culley 2005.
