So many pages, so many lies

Leather bound and yellowed

After all the passing years

The stories haven’t mellowed

Dog eared corners, wilted

Covered over, dusty layers

Marked, the chapters, bitter

By all the supporting players

No truths were ever spoken

White lies, against black ink

Were written by the scribblers

Who never stopped to think

Nature creates art

With the body of a tree

And all its blossoms

For DB…. He’ll always be watching over you  ❤

 

Days go by, more slowly now
Since you left me, here, to stay

God took you to a better place
I understand that more, each day

The sands, on which I find myself
Quietly sitting, reflecting life

Are cold and damp, without you
As my soul is filled with strife

The surf that endlessly beats
Though we two, are now apart

Reminds me of how much we loved
You’re forever in my heart

Still, I can find some comfort
In the storms, when I’m feeling low

For I know you’re watching over me
Each and every time I see a rainbow

Lying in a field, of purple and green

The beauty of nature, like I’ve never seen

Captivating colors, in a bottle so small

Uncork the top, and let everything fall

Out into the meadow, awash in the field

The scent of the gardens, to this I shall yield

A promise, you must experience this

The glory of nature is, quite purely, bliss

Young love, is always an elfin treasure

Joyous and carefree, by any measure

Through the forests, they romp all day

Dragons about them, watch them play

He’ll pick a flower, for his dear one

She’ll sigh with happiness, it’s only begun

He’ll make a promise to her, a solemn oath

That she is the one, of which he’ll betroth

For elfin beings, together, will stay

When two souls merge, on the forest pathway
