And so the shadows cast the darkness
Into the hearts of those who hate
Commanding men to horrid tasks
Tempting Heaven and its fate

Their reasoning, self-addicted
Their violence, self-inflicted

Innocents lost among the evil
Husband, daughter, son and wife
Bodies covered red with blood
Their only fault was living life

 

In memory of those lost on November 13, 2015, in the attacks on Paris, France….. May they rest in Peace

Away With the Breeze

She blends

With the colors

Of lush autumn trees

Swirling

Around her

The rush of the leaves

Surrounded

By beauty

She sighs in reprise

As her thoughts

Carry her

Away

With the breeze

Emerald eyes
An elfin glow
Faeries called to task
Whispers of memories
Locked in her mind
Hidden, cloaked, masked

By forest wood
The tale unfolds
Magical, mystical glories
The sprites do tell
Of jealous hearts
Abound in untold stories

grunge-931641_960_720Wistful melancholy dreamer
Your thoughts have forever been
Visions swirling round your head
Fantasy lives inside, within

The one who claims the morning mist
With trees and rocks, you coexists
This wanderlust kept deep inside
Yet, sadness reigns where you abide

Journeys filled with worlds afar
You await the moment when
Flight can take you on your way
Alas, you’ll dream till then

autumn-202503_960_720How bitter sweet
The colors fade
Brown devours
Leaves of jade

Barren trees
Naked, cold
Longing for the
Leaves of gold

Winter’s white
A paling dread
Autumn fades in
Leaves of red
