Waiting…
For something that never comes
For a moment that is in the past
For a light bulb to go on
Waiting…
For a pain to go away
For time to heal a wound
For forgive and forget
Waiting…
For a call that never comes
For mail never sent
For a message not written
Waiting…
Why wait…always waiting
Trying to hold on
Needing to let go
Waiting…
No more..
Too late…goodbye..
The moment has passed us by
Say goodbye my dear
To the last of the light
It fades fast now
And quickly turns to night
The shadows cross the path ahead
And dance a macabre dance
And we are voyeurs here
Now falling into a trance
They looked upon us once
Favorably and with eyes full of hope
But now the spark is going out
It is all that we can do to cope
The further down the path we go
The harder to return it will be
Perhaps the light is behind us
And all we do is but turn around to see
Turn around before it is too late
Before this becomes our fate
This world absent of that love and so full of hate
We have not the time to wait
How can we be free
If our souls are bought and sold
And our opinions are talking points
How can we think
When our minds are for sale to the highest bidder
And we no longer know which are our thoughts
How can we speak
When our voice has been taken
And our words are no longer our own
You have a mind, use it!
You have a voice, speak!
Freedom starts with you.
The thing you’ve done
It can’t be undone
The things you’ve said
They can’t be unsaid
The way you’ve felt
The feeling can’t be unfelt
Once a heart is broken
It can’t be unbroken
The trust you took
Cannot be returned
Time mends
But does not forget
Mist
It’s in the air today
It’s hanging heavy in the clouds
It’s heavy in me as well
Something boils inside
An anger that I cannot hide
A mist inside my mind
A hurt that eats the core
Sadness and anger
The sky is grim
I love the rain
It’s the wave of calm
Hurricane coming in
Whirling winds
High tide
Rain
Batters us with its wind
Floods us over with its tide
Soaks us with its rain
There is a passion in me
That yearns with the fury of the storm
Whirling through my mind
Flooding me
You were there with me in the storm
Somewhere you were lost
I found you once before you drowned
Will I find you again?
The calmness of the eye
Wind dies
Tide calms
Nothing
How can you stop the rain from falling
Or stop the sun from rising
How can a person stop the sky from fading into night
Or stop the seasons from turning.
It would be as easy to stop loving you
As for me to do any one of those things.
It would be as easy for me to forget you
As to turn night into day
Though many times I’ve said
Either aloud or just in my head
That I am at the end of the road
All I do is think of you to clear the thought away
Dreams unrealized
Immaterialized, deconstructed
Shadowed and forgotten
Lost in the field of Reality
Dreams come true
Materialized, constructed
Out in the light, on the mind
Shining in the sky of Reality
Dreams shattered
Taken away, forbidden
Locked up and tortured
Pushed to the pit of Reality
Dreams still come
Despite the unpredictable outcome
Always Dream
There is no Reality without first a Dream
She….her face glows with jubilation…
Her smile brightens the room
Her laugh is contagious….
She….her struggles are not hers alone…
Her plight is not her lone burden to bear
Her struggle is my struggle…
She…Her image is an icon of strength…
Her life is one of uphill battles
Her image is my image….
She….her face is streaming with tears…
Her heart is breaking
Her face a distant image now fades away…
