The fallen leaves
in the graveyard
look very lovely

Tranquility
 Dec 2017 OVC

I listen  to the sound of the breaking waves, smell the salt tang in the air
I watch the graceful seagulls ride the thermals way up there
No sound of human voice, no strident car alarms
I sit in natures solitude enraptured by her charms
The sea reflects the sinking sun in hues of red and gold
I'll never tire of such sights though I grow gray and old
The first gleam of the evening star appears in the ever growing dark
And the golden crescent of the moon begins her journey night
No words of mine can best describe natures perfect charm
This is peace, a perfect peace, tranquility and calm

I've reheated the same
Cup of coffee five times
This evening

Trying to write something
For myself that accurately
Describes how I experience

Often I am flooded in the ordinary
By the emotion and the density
Of life itself, in all its majesty

And sometimes I am left
Devoid of sentiment
In moments deemed worthy

I get lost in thinking of
The way the future will
Tangle with the present

I find myself stopped in
A memory as well,
A reminder, a fragment of past

The present is a fleeting concept
A paradox, I think
A circle of thought

At what point
Does the future become the present?
And the present become the past?

A hopeless gray sky
In a frozen reflection
Harbors a secret

A delicate hand
Beneath a tepid ocean
Clenches emptiness
Struggling to stay afloat in an angry sea

Alone
Silent, Solemn,
Breaking, Blinding, Barren
Wandering, Waning, Wondering, Wishing,
Battered, Broken, Bitter,
Suffocating, Sweltering,
Surrounded
No privacy but always alone

Though the stars seem dim
And the sun seems cool
I will still walk with pride
And speak from my stool

I shall raise my voice
I shall speak for all
To fight for something great
For us to all stand tall

If your moon has wilted
If your eyes have dried
Stand with me
And you can say you tried

Together we will live
Together we will provide
For we will help another
And never leave ones side

This is not about
Ones pain and grief
This is about all
To support every belief

So if your stars seem dim
And your sun seems cool
Take a walk with pride
And raise your voice from your stool
Even if you are hurt, remember your pain may help someone else. Be there for everyone because you never know what people have been through, or if they may even help you too.

We fall for a reason
We rise for a purpose
