BURIED Where history speaks Of misery For the untimely deceased For the young and old Who lost their lives: To famine; disease; Hysteria; witch trials; Their fate On headstones marked By date and type Of earthly fraught From a troubling time In our history books Remembered by Monuments and tourist nooks In Salem Secrets, truth… Read More BURIED
Each day breaks Different than the last As the sun rises From its rays, shadows are cast; Across the land And the face of me and you Allowing us to see Each other’s point of view; Sitting side-by-side United together All living on borrowed time Thankful for tomorrow.
When time decides To draw outside the lines, Embrace that face And adore the details Expertly etched By the crafty hands of time; Who’ve turned black and white To shades of grey, And colored the puppy eyes Of man’s best friend – Perceptive and wise

Gone as far As you can go On feet that carried you Steady and slow? You’ve reached the top Or so you thought Until you realized There’s much more you want. You’ve got wings to grow And places to go A whole world to see… One full of promise, and possibility.
A fallen fragment That once stood tall Appears broken, downtrodden Very nearly forgotten But from rings of strength Formed through tests and trials New purpose exists For what’s now tired …Splintered… Into a shelter Ready to share Storms it’s been through For out of its wounds Life is born anew
In another place Some other time When the days of you And I are gone; Different sets of eyes Will see Us in the clouds Forever-free; Decorating the sky – beautifully For those who’ll surely be: Studying the same scene, Questioning and wondering, Searching and asking “Why?” As they scan the windswept sky; To see… Read More Windswept Sky
