Too many stories, still left unheard

Too many lives taken, how very absurd

These days, passing by, have been such an extreme

Can’t wait for it to be over, this twenty-sixteen

A Starman, a Prince, George Michael, and more

Debbie and Carrie, Glenn, and Gabor

Rickman, Vaughn, Frey, and Ali

How many more could there possibly be?

Wilder and Palmer, Henderson, Thicke

Too many, too young, gone too quick

The days of our childhood, taken away

I wonder if God had it all planned this way

Perhaps he knew better, that we would survive

But I sure as hell wish, they were all still alive

Rain soaked, shivering

He finds solace in the food

Left by human hands

The Frosty Dew ~ #poetry of #winter

img_3196What lies beyond the forest mist

Comes closer, if you whisper

Your breath, exhale, the frosty dew

As the air becomes much crisper

The path behind you disappears

No footsteps can you follow

Walking through the fog, just you

Staggering, as you wallow

In the stillness that surrounds

Stop now, inhale, and feel it

Winter’s frozen drops abound

In the fog that does conceal it
