Tis but a dream that wakes my mind

And feeds my soul with visions kind

That whirls the colors in my head

Breathes new life, to them, instead

But oh the mysteries it does reveal

When in my heart, these feelings, real

Draw me away from reality’s door

To find me, forever, wanting more

And the more I find, as I journey, yon

Reminds me to venture, on and on

It Used to be Me – #poetry #pain

Why is it that the stars, can glow nightly?

But I easily burn out, exhausted, unsightly

My body dares me, to move about, quickly

Until the nerves become angered and prickly

Deciding I should, at last, just park it

Before something else, happens to spark it

Into a raging inferno, of liquid molten rock

When I look in the mirror, I see total shock

On a face I don’t recognize, how could it be

That the face in the mirror, used to be me

I wrote this for my Mom, three years ago, for Mother’s Day, and I am sharing it again, because today, we are celebrating her 85th birthday!  Happy Birthday, Mom!!  Here’s to many more!  ❤

Years ago, that October day
I learned about true love
God sent me a guardian angel
My blessing from above

Guiding me along the path
She taught me how to live
With wisdom, grace and dignity
Giving all she had to give

And still this day
She shines her light
On all who gather round
I’m so very proud to call her Mom
My love for her abounds

How often we impose on our fellow man

By simply robbing him blind, of his wares

Exploitation, abuse, since time first began

Yet, you still wonder why, nobody cares

Friends til the end ~ #poetry

It’s hard to believe three years have passed

It seems like it was only yesterday, but alas

You left this earth, and found a new place

But deep in my heart, you left a huge space

Friends til the end, though often, we’d fight

Eventually, always making everything right

Promised to be the last two standing, we did

But you left before me, I’m still here, on this grid

I miss the laughter, with those silly tales you’d tell

But I know, up there, you’re giving somebody hell

 

Miss you, buddy… In loving memory of Paul Pannone 1960 – 2015
