Spring

A new patch of flowers is strewed

Toes damp from the days morning dew

A leap and a dash

In puddles we splash

The essence is freshly renewed

What You've Yet to See

Leaving your comfort zone

Is like a moon jumping orbit

Out there on its own, scared and alone

With no notion of its loss or benefit

For an undermined length of time

The moon will be just a moon

It is both eerie and sublime

Yet hoping to find its destination soon

The journey may be long

It may be lonely, and scary at times

But to find where it belongs

It is surely worth the crime

For if it never did stray from its track

It would never know what lies beyond its realm

The less the travel the more the lack

And never would it know true whelm

The Ice Storm

The town was coated head to toe with ice

The poor old trees could hardly hold its weight

With Christmas near this blow would not suffice

They said it was a pretty awful state

With cars not starting and the power out

How could Christmas dinner still be made?

And no one could turn on their pretty lights

The grand vibe of holiday was swayed

But I did not quite understand the fret

All I saw outside was perfect bliss

An elegance that I could not forget

For Mother Nature gifted us her kiss

I’d never seen disaster with such class

A winter wonderland made out of glass

We Fear the Light

Ask a child why he fears the dark

He will say ”It is because I cannot see”

As adults we fear the light

Because we wish not to see

But not seeing the horrors that stand before us

Does not make them disappear

Which is the sillier thing to fear?

Perspectives (person two)

I like to think that I’m kind of heart
But sometimes the things my best friends say
Dampens this image I try to portray:
Just as class is about to start,
A girl walks in maintaining a distance
My point is proven in this particular instance
I hear my friend say “My God she’s so weird”
Just loud enough that the whole room could maybe hear
The girl shot us a look and I knew that the comment had hit her
Quite frankly, I don’t blame her for being so bitter
How could she say that?
That brat!
I’m tempted to call her on what she just said
But I shamefully laugh along with her instead
Because the thing I dread more than the notion others see
Is being shunned by the inside if I were to disagree
And others might call me a shadowing drone
And so be it if it means I will not be alone

Don't Lie Awake

Plans shift
Friends drift
Love dies
Time flies
Promises break
People flake
If one road ends, don’t lie awake
There’s more than just one path to take
There’s always room for compromise
The sun may set, but it will rise
And with the sun, your heart will lift
Through these grains in life, onward we sift

A Love Sonnet

A moment in your arms is life alone
A life alone with you is heaven’s grace
You are the thread with which my heart is sewn
My eyes cannot resist your picture face

You color-code my planet’s black and white
This Technicolor dream is sure to last
And you and I are such a perfect sight
I can’t recall the future or the past

I am in love with you there is no doubt
If you were gone my heart would surely ache
For any bliss that I could dream about
I still can’t wait to see you when I wake

My heart will always skip a beat or two
‘Cause all I ever think about is you
