It Would Appear
• 09/22/23 at 04:59PM •It would appear, I moved
to a state of mind, enraged,
about inequity of life,
when viewed from the World stage.
Retired for many years and now re-discovering some writings, from long ago, along with new endeavor to help save my soul.
It would appear, I moved
to a state of mind, enraged,
about inequity of life,
when viewed from the World stage.
We all crowd together,
avoiding being alone.
Yet here we are,
lyrics, in a sad song.
A sad song tomorrow.
A sad song today,
about losing your memories
and now gone away.
All the tomorrows,
all the todays,
lost in sadness,
of the yesterdays.
Memories for two,
only now for one.
All her memories are,
over and done.
Alone again,
in this lonely place.
God, I hope,
I'll see your lovely face.
The wind blows cool,
during the afternoon sun.
You're in my heart
and will always be the one.
I talk to you
about trivial things,
but I am afraid,
that only a few,
words get through,
to you, my sweet one.
I will love you forever,
until my life is done.
Why are you sad,
for what I am,
when I am only
a weakened man.
Be nice, it's said,
for you may be,
the only survivor
of our family.
What a life it was,
no longer here,
when hope is gone
and it's only fear.
The writing of words now,
is running amok.
Words describing
a pregnant duck.
Nothing to write about,
no words in my head.
Perhaps, my brain cells
are asleep or dead.
No matter the words,
lost and won't be back.
All memories are gone.
What do you think about that?
There is no light,
I cannot see.
My hearings gone,
so I must be,
no longer here,
my body's free,
away from life,
as it must be.
My love for you,
will never die,
though the sadness
creates tears. I cry.
Tears flow from eyes,
coursing down my cheek,
in bunches, at times.
I must be brave, not meek.
Water drips from branches, high,
falling from limb to below,
coursing down skin of bark,
wetting ground, where flowers grow.
What earthly beauty do I see,
when the liquid moisture drips,
as the imagined sweetness,
tasting through these old lips.
At this time in my life,
It is becoming taxing.
Loved ones tell me
I should be relaxing.
I don't disagree for
I need to adjust.
It's not about will you,
I know I must
My love grows stronger,
as I await,
your arrival,
from out of state.
Twas true before,
but now it's too late,
for she can no longer
travel with her mate.
What a loss for you my dear.
God has not been good to you,
these past 10 years. I wish
there was more I could do.
I'll love you forever,
deep in my heart,
though we won't be
together, when Death do us part.
I love you, Ellie.
