What is a Loss of Life

What is a loss of life?
The loss of a single life
is insignificant, when compared
to thousands of lives lost during
wars, pestilence or starvation.

Is this the kind of world we
envisioned for our children
and ourselves? I think not,
yet here we are again still
engaging in these actions
due to water, oil, natural gas
or greed.
Indifference becomes intolerable.

A Glimpse

A glimpse of colors,
perhaps torn from a gown,
when I was looking
for clues and I found.

Some piece of material,
a part of a dress shoe,
captured my attention,
as I begin to pursue.

What could have happened,
to result in this, find?
I'll keep on searching,
for I need to know or remind

the others, on this team
about the need. What we must do.
Search extra hard,
to find evidence or a clue.

A Commotion

A commotion was heard,
as she strutted into the room,
followed by reporters,
and the scent of perfume.

She was middleaged,
dressed to the nines,
in her designer jeans,
and jewelry, which shines.

She was like a Star,
bursting with light.
The look in her eyes,
said she was ready to fight.

Don't you come close,
stay away from me,
stop bothering others.
Don't touch my family.

If you would like to talk,
do so directly to me,
for I will talk to you,
please let me be.

Are You Still

Are you still my baby?
I don't know anymore,
if you are a creation
from a five and ten cent store.

Does this sound foolish?
I suppose it will,
but my mind is now,
well over the hill.

I have loved you only,
and you are friends with me.
I will love you forever,
it's the way it must be.

Come back tomorrow
with your sweet grin
and I will introduce you,
to the man you call Jim.

An Ode to a Fantasy

I believe we knew each other,
so many lives ago. Another time,
another place in a different part
of the World.

I have always been comfortable
around you, even the first day
we met. I felt we had met before.
I don't belive we were married,
but were lovers and knew each
other well.

How many synapses, must there be
for us to have known one another?
Is this compassion which I feel,
when I know nothing about the
cause? Perhaps, it is just another
instance in this Life's pause.

Go forth to see and talk about the
memories you have for you may
find another, who feels the same way.
