Lost Among The Living

They walk among us
Shrouded figures in black hooded cloaks
With glistening eyes no one can see
A fierce determination no one can feel

Asking again,
“Is my journey not over
What keeps me here
Someone please answer”
But no one can hear
“God, can you help me
I can only feel fear”

Pleading one last time
Into darkening skies
They lower their heads
And silently cry…

Convicted and cursed
Now broken and ungiving
They are simply shadows
Forever lost among the living

She is beautiful

In a wicked way

She makes the children smile

As they romp playfully about

She smirks as the rest

Struggle to find warmth

And nature trembles

As she snickers under her cold breath

No mercy in her icy grin

No comfort from the storm

Wake up
And embrace
All that life has
Swirling around you

Keep close, those
Who matter most
The ones who
Create the laughter
And dry the tears

Tell them
They count
Before it’s too late
And they depart

Enlighten yourself
To the plight of others
Reach out
Make a difference

Do not restrict
The thoughts of others
For you may never know
The lesson they teach

Spread love, not
Disdain
Spread joy, not
Bitterness

We are all
One in the same
No one better than another
We are human

And she sits quietly in the distance

As she paints the skies

A palette of reds and yellows

Against the blue ocean waters

Gently rippling below her

And she glows ever so brightly

Before tucking herself in

For the night

You speak aloud
And no one listens
The words topple around you

You speak again
And resolve to answer yourself
Asking why no one gives attention
Why does no one respond?

You shout
And the sound echoes, empty
Like footsteps on pavement
Falling wordlessly distant

You scream
One more time
And still no return
Only the repetition
Of your own voice
Answering back, hollow
Mocking your own mind
