A Chiasm

A walk along a lonely street

Oppressed by damp and heavy air

Soon led his mind to fond retreat

Away from stress he just might dare

To dream for just a moment

Although he kept on walking there

A wet and chill wind blew kind bliss

Of past and gone sights seen elsewhere

When as a child he knew but this

Simple joys and happiness

The child through window did witness

The same dark skies upon bare road

But turned swift with lightning’s quickness

And smiled and laughed and nearly glowed

As he engaged in childish fun

Brothers pretended bombs explode

His sisters told strange fairytales

And into the fray the child rode

Pure ecstasy and happy wails

A memory to never lose

A thunder above cloudy veils

With shock did tear the dreams away

At once the great colored dream pales

As thoughts return to present day

And worry attempts to return

But refreshed he marched home to slay

What problems took an evil toll

Rest and nostalgia can belay

The burdens on a poor tired soul

So dream for just a moment
