a lost friend

Joy
A lost friend
When did you leave?
There was no fond embrace
Or hug goodbye
One moment here
And then you disappeared  
I shall travel on
Without you now
My new friends
Small comfort
Take what you get
It will happen soon
I shall abide them
Hopefully not too long.

fame

The cheer of the crowd Loud… reaching low lying clouds Shaking the angels From their soft sleep Attention now drawn
the quiet so sound

The quiet of being me I need no bombast No crowds of adoring people Only the quiet of me Listening to the voice that whispe…

Lost Eden

I speak of what was lost Since I came upon this place Once a garden tendered strong Now weeds and dry earth did replac… My Eden

time goes bye

Time you thief robbing me so I never felt a lost moment or your rushing me forward

tick tock

The clock on the wall mocks me With its simple gears and a helpfu… A drop of oil here and there It will pass the time relentlessly Never having to stop and rest
embers

The flames leap higher eager, young and ever reaching for the sky And as the fire dances its dance We elders sit and watch
