With wings spread wide
waiting in the mind corners
in silent repose
hopes never ending

Drop by drop earth renewal
feeding as if starved
unfolding into newness
green
Inch by inch slowly growing
reaching as if to the sky
blooming under sunshine
purple
One to many spreading quilt
tiny grapes on stalks of green
scented perfume lingers
hyacinth

Melancholy in my soul ever whispering
nothing
always doing more feeling less
tired
hills and valleys rollercoaster of life
stressed
happy just a fake smile
lost
End

All the hard work now no way to bend
listening to the words they say
come now it is the end
No matter the pleas I send
there is nothing at end of day
Come now it is the end
Thought three lives I could blend
now there seems no way
All the hard work no way to bend
Time no more to lend
all in unison speaking nay
come now it is the end
Now my sorrow I tend
no keeping the sadness at bay
all the hard work no way to bend
Not knowing how I will fend
all that is left perhaps to pray
come now it is the end
all the hard work no way to bend
Slipping

Everything is always slipping
slowly quickly like vapors of life
people who slip in and out
hours that slip slow and fast
Children that grow into men
time has no meaning
it’s just a human measure
because everything is still slipping
In constant motion our lives
always moving forward
everything slipping
while we stand and watch
To remember that we die only once
yet live every day
do so before all we know
is slipping away

New year tho nothing truly is
same it seems but for a date
and a year to grow older
not much new in this
Opportunity is new
chance to change, grow
choices yet to make
new roads to travel
New time once again given
tho not a guarantee
to make each moment new
for another may not come
Day 1 to be as happy
as you make your mind up to be
new yes same yes
it’s all in what you see
Season

Tis the season of giving and receiving
of presents wrapped and trees lit
stockings filled and food and drink
and a celebration of Christ
But also tis the season of need and want
of no presents or trees
no stockings or food
but Christ remains
Tis the season of love
where sharing with others is the gift
remembering the why of Jesus birth
for ALL he came
Tis the season to share
the gift is just that you care
take time to reach out
it could change your life and theirs

Excitement new
time has come
ready to begin
beginnings again
Fresh new faces
from different places
coming together
sharing the free verse
Beginnings fresh
writing new
words shared
between me and you

Trickling closer dark tendrils
icy along your skin
unseen around your heart
chill that fills your soul
Dark no light to find
they seek the corners
waiting for the next body
watching from the black

We become wounded by what is said
injured by what is done
because we let it happen
Petty people with small minds
creating harm with word and deed
in their own unhappiness
We let the whispers cut us
and let the actions touch our emotions
as they continue to gossip
This harm can only hurt if we let
we choose what where when how
they are of no consequence
