Then when I was a youth, I thought I was a man As I pondered the hopes and the dreams that I’d plan, Little ...

The snow is gone but the sun doesn't shine, They are all lost In their own worlds, how does it happen? Family, friends and total strangers gone in a few quick Seconds. Did they go fast or did they suffer? Some ask, is There still hope? They find someone, is she still alive? YES, she is! She is only fifteen months old, so new to the world, yet Already knows more pain than anyone could ...

Leaves fell silently covering her naked form with natures warmth waiting for a sign, maybe spring, maybe summer, maybe never.

As sacred as psalms echoing from stained glass And with the humility of a Priests Prayer, Words of velvet vespers reached out With all the supplication Of a song in a woodland clearing, When ...

A glowing star, a trickling stream
A moonlit night. It’s just a dream
I know all that and yet I find
That thoughts of you flow through my mind.
So many times in wooded dells
A fluid sight of you just dwells
An instant then before it’s gone
And all that’s left is just the song:
A song of so much good in life
Such vividness, it eases strife.]]> Poetry Wed, 03 Mar 2010 13:47:47 GMT http://www.poeticskies.com/poetry-f1/dreamings-t1446.htm#13685 http://www.poeticskies.com/poetry-f1/dreamings-t1446.htm THAT WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN http://www.poeticskies.com/poetry-f1/that-which-could-have-been-t1333.htm antropolis He sat alone beneath a tree, Watching the other children play; One child slipped and fell, Yet he was unable to run for help. He peeked into a junior high dance, Listening silently to the music; One pretty girl was standing aside, Yet he cold not ask her to dance. He walked behind tassel-clad seniors, Following his graduating class; One right ahead reached the platform, Yet he was unable to receive a diploma. He roamed the grounds of a university, Reviewing all possible majors; One ...
