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!

Swept away, with the rush of the wind

Thoughts are scattered, then rescind

Words, once written, striped the page

Letters danced, in spasmodic ways

Cursive lines fell, in scriptive tones

To tell the tale, from flesh and bone

Penned in mystery, forever untold

Vanished, only for the wind to behold

Swept away once more, in a blustery gale

Scattered thoughts, again, shall always prevail

Forever More

He awakened my heart

With the delicate stroke

Of his feathered pen

Words, written

Spilled from his hand

Spoke louder than the tolling

Of the steeple bell

And I listened, to the deafening silence

Felt the trembling of his breath

Watched, as he bled the ink

Into the parchment

The flow of his masterful hand

Caressing his words

Giving them life, his life

To mine, forever more

Freeing Me

sunset 12315
When day becomes night, igniting a flare

As the sun sets its light, with nary a care

Where the shadows grow dark, no more fire aglow

Extinguishing the spark, slowly setting, below

When the rhythm of rhymes, are thoughts in my head

And the light from the moon shine, is silently shed

If you listen, you’ll hear such a sweet harmony

Of words finding life, taking flight, freeing me

Author’s Curse

Dry, like a desert’s swirling sand
Blowing across the cracking land

Masked behind the grains, a curtain
Of words, no longer am I certain

Finding no inner deep reward
I rattle, like a dried out gourd

Slipping into imagery
People only I can see

Lost among the dunes piled high
Reflecting on a life gone by

Forever, I wander, to find my way
Visions, thoughts, begin to fray

Into ragged pieces left behind
Cords that can no longer bind

Search again to find the verse
That rids me of this author’s curse
