For The Everyday Poet
The end comes to us all
Without a goodbye or fare thee well
We are gone into the mist
Clouds fading into the sun
Forever gone, forever missed
We go on because we must
Weary and tired with the hope
That one glorious day we shall meet again
In some faraway place beyond the plains of life
Until then I wait, goodbye sister
Until we meet again
Your brother.
Meek and small we see you,
Sad eyes, through your prism of pain
As we pass you by, we see you
From behind the veil of indifference
We see your starving eyes
And bony hands, we see you
We hear your rattling bones
And crackling skin
With hearts of stone, we see you
Dark roads laid out before me
Tired and lonely that’s what I’ll be
A thousand miles between you and me rolling
Thunder on the blacktop sea
Black as the night that rolling sea
Into the darkness is where I’ll be
Purple waters that swallow me
Forever gone you’ll never find me
I am the gusting wind, I am the blowing breeze
I am the calm you seek, I am the violent sea
I am a life cut short, I am a tragedy
I am reborn to life; I am the journey
Friends and family gather before me
Gone too soon they all mourn for me
No need for sorrow, don’t pity me
Dry your eyes, I’m finally free.
I am the gusting wind, I am the blowing breeze
I am the calm you seek, I am the violent sea
I am a life cut short, I am a tragedy
I am reborn to life; I am the journey
Quiet the storm
That rages beneath the placid skies,
Cool the burning flames of sorrow’s past
Give them peace, and rest their troubled souls,
Let time mend their broken hearts.
Majestic and strong
Splashes reckless without restraint colors on a canvas
Fluttering hues In Red’s yellows, and greens
Autumn, nature’s perfection I must go
I must stand, I must walk In the center
Crisp autumn mornings swirling around me
Lifting me, hand in hand carrying me away
Light as a feather floating on notes of Gershwin’s
Rhapsody in Blue
