Nestled in the dark
Hidden by emerald leaves
A wood creature stands
Guarding his territory
From those who dare destroy it

Shadows trace the figure
Cast upon an empty sea
She stands against
The pallid sky
A blended symphony
Light against the muted tones
It draws her ever near
Calling her back
Into the realm
She slowly disappears
The sun begins to shimmer
Casting an ethereal glow
Gracefully
She glimmers within
The circle of her halo

Blanketed beauty
Who rises above the cold
Shall defeat snowfall

Binding ties that grip the mind
Reality speaks, but so unkind
Fails to bring the healing vibe
Reminding me, things don’t jibe
Exhausted, as I trip and fall
No balance in this body, small
Wonder what it was I did not do
Always asking why, but never knew
Poisoned, I come down a notch
While others stop, and stare, and watch
As momentum drags me to my knees
Ugh! Dear God, I’m begging, please
Release my being, from this evil ride
That leaves me on the edge, wayside
Author’s note: I am fine. I wrote this because so many of my friends, as well as myself, are going through so many health issues, all of us, who grew up together. You have to wonder….

#poetry, 15 years, dorindaduclos.com, Gino, In loving memory, Night Owl Poetry, poems, star, taken too soon, time passed, writing
Fifteen years, in the blink of an eye
How time has passed, and still I cry
God called you home, not on a whim
The time had come, to be with Him
And though we needed you, right here
He needed you more, that much is clear
And when I look up, to see the stars
I know one twinkle, is where you are
Shining down upon us, our guiding light
Always in our hearts, forever bright
In loving memory of my Uncle Gino (1953-2003), a man who showed me the true meaning of kindness. I miss him every day…
