A Chance Meeting ~ #poetry #NovemberWriting

Tags

The clouded skies had darkened my view

I knew where to look, but couldn’t find you

The mist in the air gave a strange, eerie feel

I wondered exactly what it tried to conceal

Into the black, where I could no longer see

I wondered aloud, what has become of thee?

Then I caught a glimpse, from the sky above

My heart skipped a beat, I had found my true love

The one, who makes the evening, so perfectly right

When his light casts upon me, in the ebony night

Perchance, we could meet, once again, on a lark

This heavenly orb, and me, in the dark

Enshrined ~ #poetry of the #spirits

Some say they have seen her

In the mist, by the lake

No reflection in the water

Just the trees, when they quake

Her presence is known

Though she’s never been found

Not even her footsteps

Never making a sound

But when the cold filters in

And the sun cannot shine

It is then that they claim

With the fog, she’s enshrined

Musical Undertones ~ #NovemberWriting #poetry

There was an aura about her

When she sat before the keys

Her melodies spoke of angels

With each note, she’d appease

Porcelain fingers over ivory bars

Reminded me, always, that she had come far

A light in the darkness, she brought me much joy

Quietly I would listen, and never annoy

But one day the piano laid silent and still

No longer was the music being played with her skill

What I found in her place, was a single red rose

Her goodbye to me, just her way, I suppose

Yet her song forever lingered, sweetly, in my mind

For she was my music, so lyrical, and refined

Life Threw Another Curve ~ #mylife

Hi friends,

You may have noticed I am not posting as much as I was.  Life has thrown me another curve.  My Mom fell a week ago, breaking her wrist, contusions over her eye and a concussion.  That being said, Neil, Alyssa and I will be caring for her for the next six weeks or so.  I will post when I can, but my writing has taken a back seat to family, which ALWAYS comes first with me.

Try not to forget about me   🙂
