I Wait

I wait upon the edge of time
Oceans carrying my thoughts
Beyond the places in my mind
Casting away memories,
Written once, in rhyme

I wait upon the winds that blow
Lofting away with the clouds
And catch the colors as they flow
Lazily, ever lingering
In the moonlit glow

I wait upon the lilac skies
Surrounding, floating freely
And I shall wait forever more
Like the waves upon the sea
Calm against the sandy shore
While time still passes by me

Winter’s Faded Ways

Swept away, the flower’s bloom

By autumn’s changing ways

Replacing colors, blending hues

Of leaves that fall where they may

And rise again in the swirling winds

Scattering in a rainbow of dance

Until the trees lay barren, bare

Awaiting another chance

To blossom once again in tune

With nature’s call to play

As sunlight melts away the gloom

Of winter’s faded ways

Perched upon a limb

A wise old owl listens

As the trees whisper

Life’s simple wonders

A child’s imagination

Playing in the leaves

Shadows of Darkness

And so the shadows cast the darkness
Into the hearts of those who hate
Commanding men to horrid tasks
Tempting Heaven and its fate

Their reasoning, self-addicted
Their violence, self-inflicted

Innocents lost among the evil
Husband, daughter, son and wife
Bodies covered red with blood
Their only fault was living life

 

In memory of those lost on November 13, 2015, in the attacks on Paris, France….. May they rest in Peace
