Daydreaming, thoughts, only of you

While sunlight comes, streaming through

The trees in the glen, where I hide away

And sit here, just wishing, for yesterday

This was our place, to make memories last

Now, it’s my place, of memories, past

I come here to listen, be one with the breeze

Sadness has claimed me, as time didn’t freeze

The moments we had, they’re no longer here

But you’ll stay in my heart, always, my dear

So, I’ll let the sun shine, let it warm my face

As I quietly sit, in this now sacred place

Because, I know, one day, together we’ll be

Until then, I’ll be waiting, right here, for thee

She covers her face, weeps into her hand

Leaning against barren stretches of sand

And the trees behind her, though silent and still

Offer no shelter from the penetrating chill

She is forlorn and helpless, no hope to be found

Marked by the cross, that lies in the ground

A lover departed, she longs for his touch

And he reaches for her, with the wind’s gentle rush

Upon this Chair ~ #poetry

She plays the sweetest melody

A violin, tucked under her chin

The sounds that make the angels sing

As on her fiddle, she would begin

A sadness, on her face, appears

Her eyes closed, as she’s recalling

The one who sat upon this chair

A child’s tears, would soon be falling

From this daughter, who loved her deeply

Though, no longer could she hear her play

Except through her very own fingers

Grandma said mommy wanted it this way

And so she plays, for her mother

A woman, she can no longer see

Until her time, on this earth, is done

When they’ll play, together again, for eternity

Eyes, like the heavens, powdered blue

Sadness, crept its way into

Lips, as pale as palest pink

I watched, but ne’er did she blink

Her beauty, was so well concealed

Hidden, yet, it was revealed

Behind the mask, a haunted being

Wide eyed, she remained unseeing

Under Snows of White ~ #poetry for the #fallen

Spirits, old and young, kept here

Etched in stone, their time and year

Many moons have passed them by

And still so many stop, and cry

Lives once lived, so full and bright

Lie sleeping, under snows of white

Frozen, in this hallowed space

Tis here, their final resting place
