I will fly away, on a feathered ride

Disguise myself, so I can hide

Leave the turmoil, journey where

Golden suns caress my hair,

Fill my lungs with fragrant air,

Hoping I can find me there

Cast my worries to the side

As tranquility and I collide

Is there a place I can wander to,

Where no one else can find me?

A place that I can call my own,

Where chains no longer bind me?

Somewhere I can just relax

Kick back and breathe awhile

Take in subtle calming breezes

Just sit, and write, and smile

I need to find myself again

Though I’m not sure if I can

Perhaps I never really roamed

And this is all God’s plan

So I will take some time to think

And hope for a simple solution

That my life is really what I make of it

And that place, is just an illusion

Unspoken

She held no secrets

Like empty pages

Yet to be penned

Her script knew nothing

Of the role she played

In a time forgotten, shielded

From the words that fell

Unspoken in the drama of life

Step Lightly

Step lightly, be careful not to break the shell

I wouldn’t want to crush your feelings

All is not well that doesn’t end well

Emotions are often sent reeling

Speak softly, never rough nor crude

Quiet, calming, the words must be

Or, surely, I’ll be considered rude

And you’ll go running for sympathy

Wait, before you spew more slander

Exactly what is it that we don’t agree?

Stop wasting time on pure propaganda

Perhaps the problem isn’t really me…..

Here we are, my dear friends

My time away has passed

I’m back from my vacation

It was over much too fast

I spent much needed time

Taking in the beauty of the lake

Along with the mountains and nature

I really needed the break!

Though now that I’m back home

I really can’t complain

I have to say, I missed you all

So I’m off to write again!
