I searched to find
an epiphany about
a late discovery,
using names,
becoming absurd
if you don't
know a word.

Great grandfather's
name was Fred.
He's long gone,
but in his stead,
he named a son,
with the name Fred.

The years came
and years went,
I can't explain
the blessed event,
when Cousin Fred,
was born anew.

He's the eldest,
I am too.
Why write of
things like this?
When no one sings
and there is no remiss.

Whole, the World
will soon be,
if I still have friends
like thee and thee.

Long before the morning,
long before the dawn,
I awoke to find
my mind had moved along.
What is the reason,
why would I feel this way?
I couldn't separate tomorrow,
from the memories of yesterday.

I stuck out my foot,
reaching for the stair.
I missed the step,
for it was not there.
It should have been solid,
but now I'm in the air.
A thought entered my head,
find something soft,
to avoid being dead.
As luck would have it,
there was a large bush,
and I fell in the middle,
right on my tush..

What goes through your mind,
when memories have gone away?
What questions are raised?
Who can you turn to,
what can you ask?
Searching for something,
what can you find,
when all you now have
is an empty mind?

Words of inanely chatter,
float through the air.
Not just a person
but from everywhere.

Music is lively,
a good basic beat,
sounding good
as I take my seat.

The clanking of pans,
utensils and such,
noise for Pavlov's dog,
we'll soon have lunch.

Alone, a place in my mind,
where I want to be,
unencumbered about our life,
which has become a test of we.

Happiness in this life, ours
Twas never a guarantee,
and now is a status
of let it be.

Bright light and shadows,
fill this mind, mine.
Why is there no rainfall,
and only the sunshine?

She sits on the bench,
hands in her lap,
while the Sun's warming,
is a time for a nap.

Contrasting colors of
browns, yellows and reds,
spread through trees
with leaf covered beds.

A special time,
is in the Fall,
when Nature's beauty,
is seen by all.

Cold Winter's blasts,
will soon be aware,
as most tree branches
will only be bare.

Love was the danger,
keeping them apart.
Physical attraction,
the affairs of the heart.

Barren the soul,
wanting to be free,
while life keeps
me searching for thee.

A love, long lost
in this World, ours,
of hedonistic desire
for exotic cars.
