Green things
From the ground they twist and turn, growing here and there, wherever they yearn. Stretching up towards the light, out of the ground dark as night. Sometimes green sometimes brown. Often with great colors they abound. We need them to live, we need them to thrive. For on their breathe do we survive. Yet we Continue reading

Quick ramble
Down the winding path we go, where we stop none shall know. Do we even want to play this game? And have our chance at glory or fame? We must be careful, and rather quick. Or on us life shall play a joyous trick. Burn us up like candle qucks. Tossed around like rags or Continue reading

Passing time
Like the ripple on the water, made from a pebbles drop. The passage of time will never stop. On and on it marches by. Taking all of the years along for the ride. Like a rolling tide it washes year’s away. Into the far past they will fade. A child is born, they grow big Continue reading

Fire flies
In the nighttime it begins. The light within them shines again. Up they rise flicker now. Soon they will be flashing, oh wow. Children laugh. Children play. As the lights try to evade. They catch them in their little hands. Hold them tight is their plan. A simple sign that summers come, is when this Continue reading

Enough
Funny thing is, I know I’m not enough. But I try on, until forced to give up. Acceptance, kindness, a gentle touch. I wish for all of these things, why must it be so much? Someone to look at the flaws of my soul, without judgment at all, or to cause me woe. Longing fills Continue reading

The World
I cannot wrap my mind, around the things I seem to find. When I read the times, or even watch the news. It turns me sad and blue. Everyday a new drama. A tragedy of mass proportions. This world heads for destruction. But hey! Look at this new production! Distractions run a mock, keeping it Continue reading

Thunder
Lighting flashes in the sky, lighting up all around. Thunder crashes in it’s wake, shaking the very ground. Storm winds shriek, they whirl and howl. Turning the air so very foul. Downpours come a welcome feat. In this nasty unrivaled heat. Drought relieved by the sudden rains. The crops restore their withered frames. Thanks can Continue reading

Pain
Twisting burning in the gut, how I wish it would just stop. Comes and goes like the tide, on waves of pain do I ride. Some days good, others bad. Never do I know which I will have. In the end it makes me sad, and at my body oh so mad. I want to Continue reading

Passing Time
Where are the snows of yesteryear? -François Villon The wheel turns, the story moves on. And yet we refuse to be drug along. Clinging to our pain, or perhaps our ill gotten gains. Holding on for dear life, of the memories that cause us strife. What was yesterday, but now the past? A thing so Continue reading
