Traces
Everything changes

In shadowed light

I wonder from afar

Are you a flame of the morning sun,

Or the fire from a burning star?

That shines its light across the sky

In search of new tomorrows

Caught on the breeze of endless air

To leave behind your sorrows

Can I join your wondrous flight

And escape to better places?

Can you help me hide away

Without leaving any traces?

For George and Andy…RIP my friends

 

Once here, on this Earth

God had a greater purpose

On wings, you flew home

He, in a Lost World

He sits around a table

Lost in his own little space

Fondling his cold coffee cup

In a lost, bewildered place

Talks to the empty chair

That’s seated across from him

No one answers back, you see

Or wonders where he’s been

It’s a solemn conversation

About how his life could be

Do not look at him with disdain

One day it could be you or me

 

Sadly, this is a true story. So many people, especially around the holidays, are simply looking for a smile, a hello, recognition that they exist. Smile at a stranger…you may be the only light in a very dark place.

In the hours approaching darkness, I looked up to a clouded sky

Hoping God could hear me, and the words within my sigh

And soon the gray of night, parted with a shimmering star

And I knew deep in my heart, that it was you, from afar

Already watching over, all you called your own

With the grace of God, you shine, from your everlasting home

RIP dear friend…..

I lost a very dear friend today.  I didn’t know what else to do but write…. he holds a special place in my heart and I will miss him….

Away With the Breeze

She blends

With the colors

Of lush autumn trees

Swirling

Around her

The rush of the leaves

Surrounded

By beauty

She sighs in reprise

As her thoughts

Carry her

Away

With the breeze
