Silence

I grieve and mourn
In the silence of my soul
Crying out desperately
For someone to hear me
For anyone to hear my cry
Laying down the mask
That has covered me
Sheltered me
Protected me
But has also been a lie
Now I find myself
Face down on the ground
Crying out to a God
I'd forsaken

Poems

The saddest
Poem ever
Is the one
Never written

Majestic

All it takes is a soft breeze
And the dance begins
Branches intermingled
Reaching out...swaying to a single tune
Heard only to those engaged in the dance
A beautiful love song

Shadows

Intricately weaved
One strand at a time
So completely that its
No longer understood
Which is which
Blended...over and over
Until only the shadow
Of what was once
A seperate strand
Emerges.

Live

To live and die
Having gone un-noticed
Is surely
The saddest tragedy.

The River

Gliding gently down the river
Taking in each moment
Appreciating the beauty
That can only be seen
Off the beaten path.
Peace and comfort
Welcome me here
With open arms.

Trees

Twisting branches
Reaching out
Towering tall
Sheltering those
That seek
It's refuge.
