Musings

Where do people go
When they just disappear?
Their lives but a memory
A dream in the night
Do they become angels
Watching over us by day?
Or are they simply
A figment,
Vanished,
When no one left remembers?

Peace

The sky has gone gray-green and soft
As we lay in each other's arms
The clouds are no longer threatening
Just gently covering the sun like a blanket
From the shelter of you, I see the rain
It does not frighten or discomfort
All the world is peaceful from here
Let's let everything else just disappear

Nightmare

Nightmare

The light is gone and hid from view

It disappeared one day

And took with it the sun and moon

‘Caused joy to pass away

A glimmer is all ‘twould take

To make the world okay

But now our life blood spills away

And we wait in nightless day

We’ll feast on the returning

Step once more, into the fray

Until that day, we shall march forth

Keeping the nightmares at bay

My Past

My past

A dark corridor

Is where eternity lies

Wrought with sorrow

Pain and Sighs,

You bright up my life in

Like the sun in mid June

Like the sky fills the moon

An illusion of an oasis

You go and disappear

The sorrow in my ribs

Again begins to sear

I guess I’ll never know

The treasure I have found

Until it disappears,

Without trace or sound

The light up ahead

Will guide me home

Never again shall I forget

Where I‘ve come from

Reaching Toward The Stars

Time is short

Let’s seize what we can

Some people’s tomorrow never come

It’s enough to live now

Have what we may

When the starlight reaches us

It may already be gone

It lives on through our memories

Infinity and divinity

Touches our small souls

Brief glimpses on the immortal

We beg and borrow

Never knowing where it will be snatched

If you wait

Tomorrow’s dream may disappear

Bring them love

Let them grow

Hand reaching toward the stars
