How do you let go of something you never had control over
Constant reminders in everyday life
Feeling of excitement through someone else eyes
Yet, I was left, with an empty heart, and tear filled eyes....

Once was a time
I was young enough,
to know and feel the truth

But the years laid claim
to my memory,
and the seeds to every fruit

Today is but folly,
tomorrow a fool,  
the past like fine wine ages true

Where a nightingale sings
in my dreams unrestrained
—that song of myself ever new

(The New Room: November, 2020)

The horizon is less
a mystery now
and split down the middle
I won't take sides
to a war wrapped
tightly around
this pretty little future
but for some
inexplicable reason
I can't take
my eyes off of it

She's a young
Beautiful lady
In life,
And every time
I see her she
Takes my breath away
And it's magical moment
In my life to see a beautiful
Angel in life.
