rest
fire with no deterrent makes it's way through the valleys over the hills and through the silent towns engulfing the barely alive and the already dead there are no alarms no screams no running just the sound of crackling fire peaceful really Mother inhales looks out upon the beautiful flames it is time to begin again after I rest

In the Embrace of Night
Night falls upon us, shadows entwined, Darkness surrounds us, a blanket unkind. The whole world stands still, in silence we tread, As fear wraps its arms ‘round the thoughts in our head. But lo! In the distance, a flicker, a spark, The light suddenly appears, dispelling the dark. A whisper of hope, like the dawn breaking free, Now...

Misguided
How can you love when hate's all you've known? How can you arrive when the chance has flown? Love feels so distant, hard to comprehend; When words lose their melody, and rhythms won't blend. Without a guide to show you the way, Will you wander in circles, lost day after day? In a world without maps, where paths intertwine, How do you...

November Garden
Going into my garden this time of year is like seeing an aging friend. We used to talk of the future, now he speaks of the end. Strong, open arms that once hugged me grow more frail each visit it seems. He is wearing yellows and browns, I remember him in summery greens. Our words that seem business as usual are actually a long goodbye. I head...

Dementia fog
Dementia fog Where am I now, the fog is getting thicker Some people seem to come and go but I am alone on the heathen Moors struggling to find the door I used to know my mind so well , I didn't have to think I trusted it with all my heart But now it's torn apart The games it plays are not too kind, we are no longer close and my memories they...

How to?
I don’t know how To be in love How far does one have to fall? I’ve not exercised That muscle It’s barely moved at all I’ve had an inkling Or two But never reciprocated And I now feel I’m too late To try participating

The Thinking Thing In The Fog
Such incredible things I felt: A river sparkled within my eyes. A night breeze brought jasmine My heart was thrilled to seek. When I looked up with my face, I tasted the lemon-scented rain. Being was a wondrous marvel When health kept pain away. But did I know my own soul? The bulk of me was a response. I was merely exposed to inputs, I could not...

Between a Rock and a Hard Place
In shadows cast by stone and fear, I find myself, the path unclear. A dilemma looms, a heavy weight, Where do I turn? What lies in fate? Shall I trust the echoes of my mind, The wisdom gathered, the truths I find? Or delve within, where silence dwells, Into the chambers, where my spirit swells? With every breath, a whisper calls,...

Peace in Longing
I like the image of you in my head calm, kind, with happy cheeks flushed red Much different from another whom I liked before But different’s not bad, of that I am sure Nothing will probably amount from this but I don’t mind, because I won’t miss the old amount of struggle and pain I truly don’t want that again I’m happy to sit, admiring from...

A Welcome Light in Dark Times
I sit in dark solitude, Planning a way to help the world But connecting with people Is my ineptitude I know my plan would see success But in spite of my fortitude, I have no one to tell Here In my solitude, There is now, a group I see Whose thoughts parallel me They’ve laid out a plan, I find Is an almost perfect copy of mine While moving in my...

everything
everything begins to slow the words the names the memories glow not too long ago it seems you became the savior in my dreams a life less full than most would hope a child's new life a means to cope I watched you grow as I grew old I watched your life like a dream unfold from your very first step to my very last thought you were...
