Exceptional

"As a *Vessel I drift...
A mere 'Wisp in the Wind' awaiting a new life to one day begin...
As a wisp I glide...
As a man I slide, slip, and trip on....

Just a body empty of any spirit or soul, the vessel will take you nowhere, knowing that you are already a moving dead skeleton, that has no heart its gone up with your son and wife, no eyes to see, except the image of your both loved ones, no hearing to hear, as you only hear them calling you, your legs wont move, except to run towards them, your hands exist just to write about them.
Nothing nobody can help you, as you do not need help, your now is where you want to be, your tomorrow is where you want to be, your future is where you want to be. Only with them. Bless u bro, don't try to change, as you can never be happy again, except maybe a little help, when you are writing whats in your skeleton's heart.
That is why you just love that Phrase!

But the one Heart I love most of all...
Is that 'Crazy Bird' Half a Mind, 'Half a Heart,'
Heart, Body, Soul, and Mind...
Me!
One...of...a...kind!!!

Thanks Dear and I was once 285 pounds {during the depression times} and when they worsened I started to lose my Heart, Mind, and Soul.
My waist went from 44 inches to where it tis today 34.
Want a see, just grab a pen draw me and pretend!

Hi, Richard,
To me "A Heart of Utter Shame" is excellent free style poetry, a complicated poem with superior rhyming and flow interrupted by apparent errors in old English. The figurative language is as usual magnificent. The interpretation of its meaning I am going to leave to someone who really cares. See the notes below which are minor problem worthy of downgrading an excellent poem.

So easy for me Preston,
to shed thy dread!
But see, that's the "KEY" to me!
Thanks,
