Our precious words we lock away
Save them for a rainy day
Imprisoned in our minds they stay
Never see the light of day
Anxiously they pine away
Falling into disarray
Ideas once bright dimly glow
If only we could let them go
Across blank paper freely flow
Till new dawn the rooster crows
Weaving tales of wondrous lore
Shaking readers to the core
Alas, not yet, it’s far too soon
Maybe come next blue moon
Alone at last!
Where is everybody?
The possibility
Of a future
Is what keeps us
Engaged in
Life
When
We Stop
Looking forward
We stop
Living fully
If
We are
Incapable of
Being
Good company
For
Ourselves
How
Can we
Hope to provide
True
Companionship
To
Others
Wordless Wednesday – (03/04/20)
Monochrome Monday
All can attain
A level of
Immortality
Through
The memories
Permanently etched
In the
Minds and hearts
Of loved ones left behind
As long as
They continue to
Remember
And Stubbornly refuse to
Forget
We live on
crystallized puddle
morphing as it melts away
temporal snowflake
Enter on
The
Path of
Life
Strewn
With rocks
Of pain and
Strife
A
Bold adventure
Worth the
Fight
When in
The end
Appears the
Light
Out on the street in search of me
Who is it I’m supposed to be?
Into dark of night
Torn by inner strife
Craving meaning in life
But no answers in sight
Long shadows jumping
Hollow heart thumping
Self-doubt lambasting
Soul fragile from fasting
Voice in my heart
Shouts stop playing this part
Cease senseless searching
Cast off self-made hurting
In plain sight
Concentrate on the light
Residing within
Where it always has been
