Mirroring the Past

when times were good,
news great to see,
nothing was misunderstood.
Unlike today.
Mirroring the past,
when times were good,
news great to see,
nothing was misunderstood.
Unlike today.
Far off, life's beaten path,
he trod with weary foot.
On a mission, to survive,
his loss of mental state.
A loner, he was often called,
yet he still had close friends.
No interest in idle talk,
desiring to make life amends.
He loved many, it was said,
in a broad, platonic way,
persisting in his lot of life,
satisfying his soul, today.
Talking was good for him,
if about those he loved.
Cherishing those he knew,
as friends, from above.
There is something to be said,
about being shy and retiring.
It has nothing to do, other than,
it's present, in our wiring.
It is hard to believe, sometimes,
I was a shy, bashful, lout
and afraid to be in crowds,
until I realized, I could stand out.
A glob of words,
is what I think.
Some are great,
some just stink.
To paper they
will go in random jots.
I don't know why,
or have just forgot.
I need to escape,
from the place,
I'm in disgrace.
Why is my wife,
behaving this way?
She bit an attendant,
on this day.
I feel bad, not what to do,
knowing it won't help,
to yell at you.
Do you love me,
as you say you do
or is it something else,
waiting for you?
a puddle
a big splash
wet feet
a frog sat
on a bumpy log
water splashes.
Have we met before,
in times gone by?
Another life, another time,
knowing you. Not sure why.
During the memory given,
our path crossed, then.
I do not recall,
why or when.
Different lives, in times past,
when lost souls meet,
in another time or place.
Lost memories are bittersweet.
mossy rock
lying so still
wet with dew
broken branch
deformed limb
comes the spring
As the song says,
"Come play with me,
come play amongst the stars.
Let us see what life is like
on Jupiter or Mars."
Flying to the stars,
so far away,
leaving Earth, now,
loving you today.
What manner,
is there today?
Unfriendly it is,
what can I say?
Sorry for your feeling,
sorry you are mad.
You set the tone,
now it is bad.
Staffing an issue,
wherever you go,
so, adjust to it,
service is slow.
Allow for more time,
is the watchword, today,
when staff call in,
leave or won't stay.
Keep climbing the ladder,
the ladder to success.
Keep your nose clean,
to be heaven blessed.
Treat people with civility,
good manners to others,
should be your pledge,
as your fathers and mothers.
