Like fireworks, we ignite the skies
With hopes and dreams, and how’s and why’s

As radiant lights, we guide our hearts
Through thoughts and words, we must impart

Scattering about, with a certain flair
Watching, waiting, not knowing where

Eventually falling, back to the ground
Messages sent, are quite profound

With a thundering boom, we get your attention
Oh, the OOHs and AAHs, did I forget to mention?

That fireworks are a lot like you and I
Trying hard not to fizzle, when they die

That Empty Space ~ #poetry #dark

Life offers no comfort, to the ones who came back lost

Those whose minds, were taken, but really, at what cost

Trying to find the place, where last they knew their names

In a country that misunderstands, and never takes the blame

Locked inside, their restless souls, unable to assimilate

Homeless, lying in the street, oblivious to their fate

The drug of choice, so many, as they try to ease the pain

I pray to God, that someday, they’ll come back home, again

Smiling, gladly welcomed, by those they left behind

No longer in that empty space, that lingers, in their mind

Finding My Way ~ #freeverse

I want to
Disappear
Blend in
With the drops of rain
Landing
Upon a flower’s petal
Slowly
Making my way
Down the stem,
Into the ground
Traveling
Under the earth
Finding
My way
Into the river
Flowing
Into the ocean
Disappearing
In the waves

Sitting under that big old tree
Reminiscing about younger days
Thinking back on how we were
How the time has slipped away

Remembering the past
How we held it oh so close
Laughter, love and memories
Was what we cherished most

Sunlight shines upon us now
With a warm and tender glow
Calling us to journey forth
We have so far to go

Yes! Change of plan, change of pace
We’ll relish the time ahead
We shall never forget who we were
But remember who we are, instead
