HELPLESS
A loose fog wafts over the peninsula,
Throwing shadows on eyes.
An aged family struggles,
Unfamiliar to troubles.
A brother lost to addiction,
Adamant dereliction.
The mother runs away…
Safe, but for the day.
The father reaches out; yet denies.
Lost brother tells many, many lies.
The visibility shrouded, palled,
A gossamer curtain, stalled.
The self distanced sister sends,
Through too delicate of friends
A diaphanous olive branch;
Come visit my glorious ranch.
Strong opaque winds fulminate.
Survival expenses earned too late,
First born treads alone,
No help to his own.
Many many images expressed beautifully thank you for sharing xx
Dear Susan,
Yes, a myriad of life’s all to often imposed struggles.
True story.
