They can outlast me
There’s no
Doubt
As they play
And run
About
The vigor of youth
Is on their
Side
Watching contently
My time I’ll
Bide
About Life
Down But Not Completely Out

A furtive look
Always
On guard
The price paid for
A life lived
Hard
A furtive look
Always
On guard
Past convictions
His reputation
Marred
A furtive look
Always
On guard
Why was he
From society
Barred?
A furtive look
Always
On guard
From this malaise
He vowed to be
Jarred
One day a smile
Would find
His face
No longer
Trapped
In disgrace

She had arrived
With hope in her
Heart
From her true love
Never to
Part
His true intent
Never quite
Clear
Stealthily, cat-like
Approached from the
Rear
The deed done
He did hurriedly
Flee
Off to continue
His sordid crime
Spree
Marking the spot
A modest
Bunch
All he could muster
In a time
Crunch

Of Course It Is

Tucked away
Deep
Inside
Where
Humanity
Resides
Emotions, thoughts and
Big dreams
Too
Without them
We’re not me or
You
Tucked away
Deep
Inside
Where we live
And sometimes
Hide

Keep Learning
It’s really rather good to be
A neophyte repeatedly
Back again at master’s knee
Learning anew, avidly
For lifelong fulfillment
An essential key
From the very beginning
When but wee

Dream On Dreamer

A dreamer
He would always
Be
Nestled
High up in a
Tree
Where his thoughts
They did roam
Free
Nestled
High up in a
Tree
Apart from reality
Unlike you and
Me
Nestled
High up in a
Tree
As time revealed
And all could
See
A dreamer
He would always
Be

It’s Not For Me
A vagabond
I could not
Be
Though unattached,
Completely
Free
A vagabond
I could not
Be
Stability and routine
I like to
See
A vagabond
I could not
Be
A permanent home
Is much more
Me

Stroll beneath
The
Cherry trees
Tilt your
Face
To catch the
Breeze
Stroll beneath
The
Cherry trees
Soak up the
Warmth
Well past
Freeze
Stroll beneath
The
Cherry trees
Make
No haste
Go as you
Please
Stroll beneath
The
Cherry trees
Nature’s beauty
Yours
For
Free
Stroll beneath
The
Cherry trees
Serenely
Calm
Simply
Be
