This was written the same day (night)… As I grew closer to completing my Journey, my emotions were high, and hopeful, as the bitter silence continually gave me hope against hope that Love would win the day! Having nothing else to keep me going, not wanting to admit that the cold cruel “real” world had once again intruded upon and perhaps trampled my ever Romantic, ever Hopeful, ever Poetic heart, dashing my Dreams… The future remains yet unwritten, but the present gives no assurance that anything soon (or ever) will change what has been done. Still…
A Few Simple Things
Blessings as Stars
countless and bright
fill the soul with wonder
and light our path at night!
Love as the Sun
warming to the core
its failure a black hole
no escape if it is no more!
Life as the Moon
waxing, waning, then gone
succeed or fail, we choose
the World turns, and moves on.
Dreams as the Earth
plenty for us all
without a good foundation
sadly much will fall!
Hope as Sky
in the moment we define
when forsaken, beauty’s lost
when cherished is divine!
