I miss the days when life was simple
Care free children smile loud
Parents dancing in the kitchen
I see my dad steal a kiss
Hearts are laughing
Singing, harmonizing

The trees are breathing green
Grass swaying, hugging
The flowers stand tall
Welcoming life to all
Animals jumping, running
Moving, in love with freedom

First kisses
Driving cars
Growing up
Moving on

Easy peaceful moments
What a gift of memories

I hear this, everywhere
Those saying it,
They're so naive, lucky
Unaware of the jealousy
From those who live
Not missing anything
They've never had it.

We cry out in desperation
Embrace it, please
We need to live through you
Until the day
When we're able to say
I miss the days when life was simple.

Can one feel peace
While missing a piece
Blankets of calm
Right even if wrong

Moon and stars bright
Reflecting the sun’s light
Winds blow gentleness
Comforting wholeness

The sounds of the dark
All thanks to noah’s arc
Breathing in tranquility
Embraced by serenity

Overwhelmed by beauty
Realizing our duty
Tears for the lost
Hold them at all cost

When one with the ground
Our souls will be found
In spirits of others
The sons and daughters

Smiles of eyes
Hearts through cries
Love from hands
Loyalty in bands

Lifted from the earth
Frankincense and mirth
Existing now as a cloud
In raindrops he’s found

Soaking the skin
Reuniting within
Not a tragedy
But the force of gravity

Nothing is missing
Especially if not living
He had to leave
To help me see

If one’s mind is open
Just for a moment
Death isn’t taking a piece
It’s wrapping one in peace

Your empty eyes.
Have broken my heart.
They don't overlook,
But no longer see-
I'm caught in between.

You've moved on I'm stuck-still.
Your bright future
Overshadows mine.
Revealing how I've been blind.

You won't return
So I'm forced to run.
Repeating old patterns.
Lost in hopeful habits-Only
To feel exceedingly more lonely.

Your mind is made,
Yet I continue to wait
For us to be we-
Realizing today that it's
Forever you and I.
So waiting I will die.

Wind on my skin
Through my hair
In my lungs

Pups in the pantry
Sprouts growing
Controlled freedom

Smells of smoke
Smiles on our faces
A snake of streets

Lights in the sky
Skin reflecting life
Loose fabric flows

Sound waves tickle
Climbing up lobes
My ears are happy

Stop.
Don't walk
Or leave.
Just wait.
You're mine
Only.

Please.
Come back.
Return.
I'm it.
Second chance?
You'll see.

Why?
I'm wrong.
With flaws.
You're right.
Each time.
Maybe.

Late.
You left.
Gone.
Forever long.
It hurts.
Lonely.

Time.
Changes you.
And me.
Future family.
We'll be.
Married.

My short breath is lost in the wind.
The star shoots as my heart sinks.
I'm floating, swaying.
Laying flat, looking up.

Oxygen too heavy to fill my shallow lungs.
Tightness in my stomach, in my throat.
Darkness envelopes me
But you're shining. Forever.

Fingers stiff from the chill of the night.
I'm alive. The cold reminds.
I hear sound. Nature. River.

The sky in the water.
Smoke becomes the night.
My body is empty, deflated.
I drift, the breeze takes me.

No matter how wise a tree,
Eventually it turns to paper.
