The sun is setting
in the distance
It looks like a faraway land
beautifully exotic

I stare and wonder
feeling myself
being lifted,
gently
outside my bubble

I'm constrained to the small place
that I reside within
too often

I could almost cry
for myself
as I have given my mind
that much needed freedom

My soul is shining
glowing
like the setting sun

Cast along a dotted line

of yesterdays and practiced rhyme

These dreams before of what was told

deliveries my heart does hold



A poet’s thoughts of times gone by

in empty scenes and tear stained eyes

Where broken hearts have come to play

my words they speak of yesterday


~
                            

Yet here I stand on corners plead

as verses plant the morning seed

These shadows lingering behind

now disappear in what I find



For beauty in my eyes I see

as love it walks the path to me

And since your love has come my way

*I’ve no more need for yesterday
