The rising sun
Aligned just right
Radiated through
The bare tree branches

Illuminating the cool morning mist
With an amber glow
As it lifted slowly
From the expanse of meadow

While a passing cloud
Lazily draped itself
Atop the lone tree

A fitting final touch
To a masterful composition

Satisfied at last with Her work
Mother Nature moved on
To Her next blank canvas

Shiny, glossy
Bright
And new
The building crumbled
The rubble
Grew

Shiny, glossy
Bright
And new
Character fell
To the wrecking
Crew

Shiny, glossy
Bright
And new
The needs of many
Gave way to a
Few

Shiny, glossy
Bright
And new
With the past
The powers that be were
Through

Much to their surprise
Right before their eyes

Not a cat marooned
But bicycles festooned

On all the calls they’ve been
Now everything they’d seen

Gone by the way
Of the
Eight track tape
With compact discs
Soon
To
Follow

A world
Of everything
Satellite
And cellular
Somehow
Leaves me feeling
Hollow

The two they shared a special bond
Each of the other truly fond

Once alone, but now together
Life’s travails able to weather

For now
A disarming smile that
Beckons

No one
Would doubt for even a
Second

A future force
With which to be
Reckoned

A fairytale princess
She
Wanted to
Be
Pursued
By suitors over
Land and
Sea

A fairytale princess
She
Wanted to
Be
Without
A care
And running
Free

A fairytale princess
She
Wanted to
Be
It
Has to be someone
So why not
Me

Gathered together In A box No one bothered To add A lock

Gathered together In A box Wonder if anyone Will make A stop

Gathered together In A box A collection Of lives Time forgot
