► Yielding

Sanity gets all I’ve got.

The eyes of the storm
blow my every thought.
So, I’m forced to learn,
and know what I’m not.

I still fear the repetitive,
the near and the tragic.
I’m still confined to time,
and double yellow lines.

I still steer, not to collide
with oncoming traffic
in my ever-tireless mind.
– I am just trying to live.

  1. “Sanity gets all I’ve got ” what a powerful opening! And “ongoing traffic in my tireless mind” is wonderfully penned. You are an amazing poet, Ricardo. May the muses be with you 😊
