Words Again Fly
• 07/19/23 at 06:26AM •Words, again fly
from my brain.
Is it too late,
did I miss the train?
Write about topics, current
and the words used today,
sometimes aren't apparent,
meanings can run away.
Retired for many years and now re-discovering some writings, from long ago, along with new endeavor to help save my soul.
Words, again fly
from my brain.
Is it too late,
did I miss the train?
Write about topics, current
and the words used today,
sometimes aren't apparent,
meanings can run away.
Crazy are the words,
spilling from my head.
Always a worry, they may be
words I shouldn't spread.
Slanting rays of topaz,
floating through the air,
promises salvation,
removing the despair.
I visited you today, as you
slept in your chair.
I was there for three hours,
you weren't aware.
I've discovered walking
in a crowd,
can be dangerous,
and very loud.
Walking at airports,
no one follows the rules.
Walking on both sides,
one direction, breaks rules.
When walking unattended,
without my cane,
a simple fall
means a lot of pain.
I must keep walking,
as long as I can.
If I'm confined to a chair
I'll be less than a man.
I know that's not true,
I certainly do.
I know how I feel,
uncertain about you.
Between a rock
and a hard place,
we would often say,
life's not a sprint,
it's a long race.
When I recall the beginning,
and am now facing the end,
life has become very real,
it is no longer "Let's Pretend."
Why are some people, contrarians,
always seeking an argument,
taking time from others,
without paying life's rent.
There is nothing free, in this World
and there may never be.
Even "free love"
is never cheap or free.
Pave the way to the stars,
please do it for she.
Help her to find her way
as she is important to me.
The Sun arose this morning,
spreading its warm rays,
across field and mountain,
ocean, lakes and streams.
A warming Sun, growing plants,
makes my heart sing,
music to my soul. I want to spend
more time with my loved one,
before she leaves or is gone.
So long tomorrow.
Goodbye yesterday.
What happens today,
When you've gone away?
