A Life Transformed

The trees of fall they bend and sway,

All in the promise of a crisp clear day,

But the cold nights come with hopes anew,

With blades of grass now soaked in dew.

 

The leaves have fallen, the sky now clear,

All beauty in time, my heart holds dear,

But we all stand alone when our fears do take hold,

The change of the seasons, a story is told.

 

So as time marches on with loss keenly felt,

Our hearts still in place, the cards have been dealt.

After winters fine wrath has wiped the slate clean,

A brand new beginning can start to be seen.

To See Through My Eyes

To see what I see

Frequent and far reaching delusions spread through time

From the carnival barkers dais.

Lies penetrate the forgotten soul,

Sweeping through the barren wasteland of the mind,

Tortured senses beaten down by an incessant silky haze of

Memories…best…kept…hidden.

I Walk Alone

I walk alone.

Alone in the wisdom of the woods

Alone with the love of natures embrace

I walk alone.

Alone in each step, the drumbeat of the distant wanderers

Alone, searching for truth in the infinite space

That is the wilderness, my life, my love

Forever marking time

 

 

 

Awaiting Reciprocity

The silence heard from afar

Empty looks, the fear of the truth

Both committed to the known,

Each seeking the peace of the unknown

Troubled in the now,

Waiting…waiting…waiting…

Helpless and waiting for what is imagined

Hopeless and waiting, watching time slip by

Another Poem About Fall

Dark brown, orange and yellow life sway  in the cool October breeze.

Fragile and clinging to life, each one fears what they can’t escape,

The inevitable forcing them to hold on, the quest for one more day.

The days pass, the grip loosens and darkness overwhelms them- 

Floating gently to the ground, memories of sweet summer days fade.

Meeting the earth, it welcomes them promising new life, another chance

At…Death? Rebirth?

 

The Thought of Love

A slippery slope,

The mind wanders

Lost in tranquility,

Sentimental thoughts

Movement,

The slight turn of the head, a look

Delayed ecstasy,  a glancing touch

Watching, wondering, feeling

The struggle continues

With each fleeting glance
