The heart is torn
The soul cries
Tears rain down
From
Sadden eyes.
No more is known
None do care
All alone
Filled with despair.

I don’t know the answer
nor the question
I was asked
I’m living with
what has happened
what has come to pass
Will it still be here tomorrow
will it be all I need
I need to ask
No answers come forth
because the answers
are hidden
Hidden deep
deep within
the questions asked.

First snowfall brings
Brightness and clarity to my life
Looking at things covered in white
Sleeping now
Thru the winter night.
To awaken
All new, fresh and bright
Once spring’s breezes melt
This
Winter’s white.
For now I see oh so clearly
What the universe wants me to know
I’m part of all life,
All seasons
Spring, summer, fall
and
Especially winter’s white snowfall.

As I sit here thinking
Of what is to be
And been
My mind wanders to things
That have passed, have been.
There are no memories
As strong as those
That I’ve lived
Been part of
Those that have been.
Future dreams that I’ll be living
Won’t be nothing
Won’t be memories til
They’ve passed thru my living
Going into what has been.

No words to say
None to convey love and understanding
No, nothing comes to mind
To articulate or define
No, nothing
Nothing comes to mind.

The sun shines bright
glistening on fallen snow
in
the early morning light.
Troubles seem trivial
anger has not much might
for pure white snow covers all
in
the early morning light.

I sit here wishing
What is
Could not be.
Hoping life
Would be a little gentler
Take pity on me.
Trusting it
Will get better
So all can be happy.
Doesn’t matter what I wish
Cause life is
What it will be.

Having a hard time
For
I’m seeing the future
In a bleak frame of mind
Looking out onto trees
Dripping
As if crying along with me
My heart is broken
In
So much anguish and pain
I know
The sun will shine
Again
I know
I will laugh
Til
I cry once more
But until
That time comes
The future is sadness
All I see
A future bleak
Without you here
Near me.
