Pause

In the shallow light of day
When twilight meets the gloam
When darkened shadows come to play
Making sinking spirits roam

Let's raise a cup of unshed tears
To those we used to call friend
To broken dreams and unspoken fears
To bridges that will never mend

Allow our minds to silent grow
Let burdens be at peace
The world can have it's troubled woes
Or let all thoughts quiesce

As the sun sinks into the land
With heartbeats sounding bold
Together we pause glass in hand
And watch the future unfold

Return

A patient pause gives way
Two hearts fluttering in time
As space between them builds
Their peace slowly dying
A beautifully staged play
But now the page turns
No longer bound as one
The world crashes and burns
All things are ending now
As everything eventually must
Time has come to concede
Return this relationship to dust

Hiatus

Who will be here when we break?

To pick the pieces up?

Cracks begin to show already love

Fading in the sun

It’s never peaceful in the wind and rain

Time is spent waiting

For the storm to end

But it’s only a pause

Hiatus

Then a frantic run to shelter

What happens when that shelter

Is no longer there?

Will we race downstream in the flood?

Will we whip wildly in the wind?

All we can do is take cover

The best we can until

The storm is over

Plant our feet in solid ground

Comfort each other

Together

Survive the deluge
