Courage, tomorrow: A poem 

I can bury the bones of sorrow 

with the tired gasps of air I swallow 

Today, I will like a widower brood 

May that to you be understood 

Grace’s buck in my desolate lounge 

has collapsed to the ground 

Though my stars are sublime, I need some time 

to cleanse the soul of the dispensable grime 

I will, today, brood, let it be understood 

That I will burn up all the wood 

No guilt at tears, no shame at fears 

The veins have plaque after all these years 

I will brood, choose to understand 

But the drooping tree will still stand 

Tomorrow, the Gogmagog of my courage will oversee 

the fledgling empires of posterity

Hi, I am Monte Cyril Rodrigues and live in Melbourne, Australia. I am a retired journalist. I have been diagnosed with schizophrenia. I've had voices and visions all my life. I think it is a spiritual experience, my doctors think otherwise. I am a deeply spiritual person and keep having experiences with otherworldly realms.
