Joe Filigno

Closing in on my emotions, I fear unforgiving consequences await me,
The portrait of a man distressed by his own solitude.

The calm before the brutal inevitable,
I find myself waiting for a miracle to unfold.

Fears of anxiety rushing through my already distraught body,
My senses deadened, due to a hopeless state of mind.

Thoughts of confusion scamper hastily through my mind,
Dreading the time that life has set aside for me.

Thoughtful, passionate, full of grace,
A kindness which graces us all.

Charming, stylish, a sense of elegance,
As enchanting as candles on a lustrous night.

Respected, admired, adored by many,
One in which the gods would be proud.

A willingness, a desire, a strength for us all,
A promise of good things to come.
That's who you are.
