"Winter Falls .. Springed Summers"
  by D Benitez


Heading to destination function
Dysfunctional junction’s gadgets
Phony pageants

Flabbergasted by every dead end pathway
In search still lacking to unpack these boxes
Lost tourist.

Constantly push-moving
Slide-showing
Shy-hiding
Been traveling for a while
Unsighted guiding.

Mailman distributed a prized package.
Read directions
Responsibility of delivering
Fragile handle with care

But you seem to have misread
The yellow sealing tape
Convinced gone misplacement
Waited for your arrival
Constantly picked up to be put down

Made it through winter falls
Springed summers
Lost numbered count
Numerous times

Burned by the sun
Nearly drowned by the rain
Bitter vulgarity
Nearly knock down strong legs

Somewhere along abandonment
Idle isolated boxed contents
Overstretched moments
Led to disconnected

Dislocated
Protected barefaced
Infuriated fists
Punched away the shame

Got back on the road
Searching for home
Eager to posses a place of my own.
Likeness showed
Home’s been traveling with me all along.

Once upon
This time
I found myself.

that is an interesting concept...the ending really stood out to me "Got back on the road / searching for home / eager to posses a place of my own. / likeness showed home's been traveling with me all along. / One upon / this time / i found myself" All of us are searching for something...I wonder how often it really is just right under our noses?

Love the way the story starts from searching and travels to finding that all one had to do was look inside the center of the circle...to find themselves a place of comfort......but truthfully...the way you handled this was quite masterful...felt like a compelling testimony of sorts...I thoroughly enjoyed this...have to fave it

Not many can write the way you can, which shows how unique of a poet you truly are. Well deserving of ten stars. Nicely written

'Once upon This time I found myself.' and there is nothing like finding this place...it is the greatest of the world...
