a new run

a new run

he used to just sit and watch

vacant eyes wishing to blink away the blank

now the channel has been changed

and his show is back on the air

his voice concurrently full of laughter

his eyes dance with the stars

his life renewed

for another season.

Applied most obviously, a chilling account.
Appears to recount the tragic fate of a human being snugly plugged into the plug-in drug.
What have many us become?

[jacob erin-cilberto]

thank you,

Though there may be intermissions, While there is breath, there is still a zest for life, a spark that cannot be wholly extinquished, though it may sometimes seem that way.

Age is no barrier, this I have found in my parents. My father is now in his seventies, four years ago he was diagnosed with CML , (Chronic myeloid leukaemia,) but his eyes still dance with the stars.

Beautiful, life affirming poetry jacob.

I like this and the comparison. Makes me think of someone stuck in a rut, year after year, no zest for life and then bam. Something, some person or event gives him something to live for again.
And so the story continues...

[jacob erin-cilberto]

and yes, very close to the inspiration...

thank you, Ana...

i appreciate your words...his story does continue///

couch potato love... ;)
how we love those stories that we connect with

but it also makes me want to really run, maybe I'll start jogging
the newness like when we forget how
good it feels

and it comes around again.
thanks, j.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

a new run write sounds more like anew life that your metaphor's stepping up into... with anew born tendency of season.

Our 'favorite show' can do this to us, make us feel alive again, simply by changing the script and delivering something new. I really enjoy the cleverness of your pen.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

thank you, Witty...
