A Moment To Rewind

By: Mark R. Sosa

Copy written 2004

Now rewinding

To my adolescents full of muted heartbeats

Morning mirror reflections expressionless

Mind hollow unconscious actions to follow

Arms expanded wide and both eyes shut

Awaiting this love to come inside but

The empty cold air of loneliness was all I could find

Bedroom a sanctuary salvation from all stranger’s intrusion

Afternoon playground for all a delight

For me my entrance into my expressionless fight

My blood mixed with tears that covered the ground

Created a vision of a father figure I thought I once saw

A blinded vision never again to be found

From my living room couch as a teen

I saw my R.I.P. gravestone signature so vividly

I tried so hard to get there

I really, really did

Not knowing then at death’s door

That the smirking devil had already placed his bid

Heaven sure knew that from death I’ve never hid

Cheating death was never my young dream

Yet for so many years the fun of doing it repeatedly

Just wasn’t as bad as what it seemed

As I walked away from it continually

Practically mocking the Grim Reaper’s stupidity

Heaven has left me without

A single scratch on my human being

Yes I have been dead and

Have come back from a coma to life

To walk across the sky’s decorated rainbows

Something I never imaged would one day take flight

To live, love, and laugh with peace finally inside

To heal, renew, teach, and to give those hope

Who are still trapped on that “other” side

Tell them true peace is not found

When you decide your own fate

Look around for your world of dreams

If you believe only then will you find

Just stop, step back to look and listen and

Take a moment to rewind
