By the light of the silvery moon
Under the blackness of night
You stand there and see
what cannot be seen

out there in time
are your thoughts
spreading across
the infinite of your mind

with such thoughts
comes emptyness
that you are just you
alone there

time goes by
light changes
night flies
yet you are still there

are you not?
Or are you?

You have not moved
yet you are not where you once were
for time has moved past you
your thoughts still out there

Alone
empty
your mind

as you go by
staring out there
the night time changes
but do you care

since you are thinking
what are those thoughts
inside
outside
no where
every where

they are yours
but are they not
for they were in your mind
but do you not feel
that they now be out there

yes
in space
and time

so you wonder
what was it you thought
as now they have changed
so have you

inside you go
feeling different
I cannot say
for they were your thoughts not mine

so you carry on
for this is now yours
so what were your thoughts
under the blackness of night
By the light of the silvery moon
By the light of the silvery moon, came to me as i was driving... the rest... well i just sat here and wrote...

is time that passes by
each second comes
and goes
with it is our life

from which we make things happen
as and when it must be
for a time n place there is
but when we get there
is it foretold
or do we come to it by ourself
as and when we should

for each minute that passes
our thoughts come and go
for within is so much
that has yet to be told
for in our life
we do hold
so much yet so little

our thoughts motivate us
from them we do so much
or so little
in them we find solace

find despair
find trouble
find hope
find happiness
we find so much is to long a list

for in them we see much
but listen to them do we
for there are so many thoughts we have
each day comes and goes
a thought lost
a thought found

within them we are who we are
we can do anything we want
for they are our thoughts
part of who we are
for we are what we are
but have you learnt that

few have found what they seek
for have they really sought
what is within them
for that is the truth

so little be told
so little be seen
so little be heard
so little be known

do you understand it
for it is you
within you
every second
every minute
every hour
every day
your life

so lead it how you will
for one day
you may finally come to see
what it is that you seek
do you not know
then listen to yourself

not others
is for you to lead
is it not your life
to enjoy and live
othesr come and go
they be part of it

that be part of you
in whatever way you let them
for they are just a part
no matter how close or far

let them in
hold them back
see yourself
before others do

why judge others
when you have not learnt
what it really is
for life is yours

take it how you want it
live it how you want
make it what you want

things come and go
learn from them as you will
do not ignore
no matter how trivial

for everything we see
we do
we hear
we think
they all make us what we are

do you really know
who you are
for are you not yourself
or are you what others want

realise your true self
the potential that is within
for only when you learn yourself
will you understand

and so i write
from a sleepless night
thoughts going through my mind
for others to see
read
understand

that is if you can

From place to place i go
always moving
coming and going
never stopping

in time and space
i have been
both past and future
i have seen

but present
i am not here
for i have no place
i call my own

for i do wander
from time to time
around i go
here and there

from the past to the present
i will move about
never in one place
to call my own

for as i move
i do see
many things
come and go

few see
what i have
few felt
what has been

some see
but never realise
what is there
for eyes are closed
to what should be

as i wander
from here to there
i move about
now and then

time to move on
once again
for i am here
and you are there

for if i be
then im no longer here
for i have moved already
so see it as it should be

wandering
from place
within time
in space

never where i should be
for i am have come and gone
been there
seen what i should
now moved on

so see what you want
from whence i was
to where i go
see what you shall

for wander i do
in time
in space
in mind

for none to see
so i do carry on
moving around
until the day

when i do meet
myself where i should be
until that time comes
i will carry on

wandering where i am
where should i be
what have i been
why have i been there

for everything
comes and goes
a time and place
so ive been there
for a reason

but still i wander
i do come
and go
in the present
is my time now

for past and future
have become one
so all thats left is present
to live in

wandering about in time
is not where i should be
for once youve been there
is hard to see
what everyone sees
for so much more are you
that none do feel
like you

so wander you must do
in time
you may find
the place
you can call
your own

until that time
does come for me
i am here
but not in being
perhaps not in mind

for i wander
have been there
have been here
is all the same

no where is mine
to say it is
so travel i must
until one day

i can lay down
n pass away
in a place
where time and space
have stopped for me

that day is there
for me to see
but time is not
n space is hidden

so wander i will go
for where i stop
i dont know
for i am not there yet
here i am

ready
waiting
sitting
beating

just knowing that
for now i go
to join the queue
wandering

never settling
till i do find
my time in space
for me to rest

and say this is mine
where i do stay
with you i go
for now i am

no longer a wander
but a settler i be
until my days
i am here
with you i am

when one day
will come
for me to start
to go again
as i once did
my journey begins

for it happened once
so it will again
for me to pick up and go
never settle

to become part of time
within space i am
no longer anymore
just fade away

a wanderer i was
wandering in time
through space i went
but return i do
as that is all i am

a wanderer

a person is who you are
a stranger you may be
a visitor who may come and go
coming through a life you do enter

for in that life you may know
each person as you want
for you pass through
as and when you want
for it is how it has been
and how it will be

each time you do pass
a trace of you is left
a thought
a word
a meaning
a smile
a touch

each and every thing
you say or do
is remembered in a way
by one or by many
as it is what you are

whoever you pass
they will know
from you about you
and so will learn
what they must

for each person
that you do pass
in your life
has something to pass on
you may never know
may never realise
but everyone has something

from a simple word
a conversation
a look
a thought
a writing
even a smile

for it will all be stored
in your mind
to think about
look at
percieve as you will

many things will come and go
little might be said
things may be learnt
but will you understand

for every person that does come
you will see and feel
in so many different ways
words and meanings
feelings and thoughts

all in all
they will be had
no matter if you realise
for they are part of you

a stranger
can become a friend

a friend
can become more
but what that is
is upto you

why judge when your not perfect
for if you were
would you be here
why not pass what you have
onto others
let them see you for who you are

no barriers
no walls
no fakeness
no falsety

be yourself
in every way
for all to see and know
let you be you
and others will know

let life pass you by
with those that come and go
learn from all and one
for each have a tale to tell
to be learnt and understood

only a few do realise
only a few do see
only a few do understand

the few that have insight
that do accept and be
will become seen
for more than there worth

for do little they see
the worth in themself
but in others they see
the world as it is and can be

a person you are
little in life you are not
for you make your path
and you touch others
even if you do not realise it
for you are you
and that is life

a thought is said
a word not told
a life is held
in every moment

for in it be
a second to us
a lifetime there be had

images
thoughts
conversataions
words
looks

nothing heard
for nothing said
unwise to all
for it be told

a listener there is
for who it be
many say
so have asked

within it be
to be said
when it is
not before
not after
just when it is

many are there
unbeknown to him
so many

a night
a day
all are one
all have become none

words are trivual
to understand it
for it be as it is
as once was
as will be

a star is born
a star goes out
time is eternal
are we not so

within there be
so much to say
so little time to be said
nothing to understand

why say what is not heard
for who truly listens
do we ever

are we really
such is said
not heard
but should it be

too much there is
too little too late
past its all
present its become
future who knows

time is as it is
just please realise that

unspoken it remains
an so it shall
there is a time and place
in life for everything to be
from birth to death
once or more

understand we will not
for we are not us
let the stars be

time
light
darkness
emptyness

is all here and now
and was
and will be
we are just a speck
for dust is all everything is

to complex
you have read
understand you will not

leave

how simple is it
for us to have
but little do we
for its hard

to learn
to teach
to play
to enjoy

feel what there is
so simple it be
yet everything that is
happens
be said

is taken hard
no matter
where or when
for it is so

that we do take
what should be simple
and becomes hard
for that is life

how we do take it
in whatever way it be
no matter
we say

we cope
we deal with
we get up n carry on
**** happens...so we say

but deep down how simple is it
for us to see
but none do
that life is as easy
as it really is

just things come and go
time and place
there be a lesson in everything
but do you learn?

that is why
so simple it be
for hard comes from it
to make us see

that life is not what it is
or should be
but what we make of it
what others make of us

for we do not live
how we want
but for others we do
the things that are done

in doing so we become part of one
humdrum in life
that daily plod
get up
go do it
go to sleep

and so the cycle goes
round
no break
no change

how simple do you want it to be
do you not understand
do you not see
have you not learnt
open and feel
for it is right there

alone one stays
seeing it for it is
but understand be not
for time n place is not right

so much is said
so much is written
so little is understood
so few do realise

simple is life
for it is what it is
so be yourself
feel the breeze

stand n see the wind in the trees
remember what it was like as a child
let loose the humdrum
feel it as it is
simplicity in life

you know what i mean
take time out
look and see
feel n hear
not what is said
but what is not

dont let it go by
for then regrets
as a time gone by

remember it all
how simple it once was
but really
its just that simple

so go and enjoy

a thought it is
that you do read
a poem it is called
but a thought no doubt it is for all

take it as you see it
understand it you may not
for my thought it is
for all to see

we all have thoughts
little to big
some dark n despair
some joyful n happy

all are what they be
for in time they come and go
but a thought they will always be
take it as you want it

for little is there in them
for anyone but you
no matter what it is
its part of who you are

it be there then it be gone
for its just a thought
the memory might last
it might come n go

be it deep
or be it shallow
its there in your mind

understand it ye may not
see it for what it is
feel it within you
forget its meaning

any of these it may be
come and time will go
go and it may remain

within it stays
for time itself
a thought to you
but to many
who knows

what is will be what is
a time n place for everything
so read as you will
forget as you may
remember what you do
a thought be just that

a memory
a passing
a thread of what might be
of what could be
of dreams n wishes
of aspirations

take a thought for what it is
for little do you understand
for within in is so much
yet little is seen

take heed of your thoughts
for they are all wise
no matter what they be
a lesson is there to be learnt
just see it for what it is
for we all have thoughts

so let them come and go
within you be

a penny for your thoughts............
