Weekend at the beach
j a connor Jun 18
Friday evening sails into view
Sky turns a rosy shade of blue

Rise to my feet
Stroll across the sand

Listen to the surf
Riding the land

I drunk some wine
Just to clear my mind

But
I can't stop

Thinking about you

Life's too short for dreams and schemes

Take a chance while there's still time
Spontaneity loves tasting the wine

Lost in the music
Peace assured

Orchestrated tranquility

The faint echo of the final note

My fears, the persecution
Alive

Spark Of Contemplation

By the campfire the vision in the flame lured Sal within.

Will Cassady remain ?

As the light reaches higher

Sunset to dawn
Chill to warm


Sparks fade for another day.

Beached 2
j a connor Mar 2021
I remember the time when we were kids
The fun we had
The things we did
And I wonder
Why did it change

You're still here in my heart
Each and every day
I thought I'd left you behind but my dreams made you stay
I see you now
I think of then

But I made me a promise

Never
Again

Daydream
j a connor Jun 2021
Imagine a tropical paradise
Think hard now
Don't that look nice
Sky is blue
Palm trees sway
Ocean clear
Sunshine all day
Come with me
I'll take you there
Forget your troubles
Forget your cares
Sail away on the distant breeze
Clear your mind
Do as you please
Lyrics from Drift Away by j.a.connor
It's good to dream

Time for peace

Visiting the beach on a school day in spring
Watching the waves and the birds on the wing
It's just me all alone no one around
This particular place can be described in a sound

Awe................... haw.................hmmm

A Life Full Of Choices
j a connor Jun 2022
Does the thought of the action worry you more

Will you be comfortable knowing what is behind the door

the decisions you choose
maybe win maybe lose

But to do or to don't
That's free to explore

Uncharted Course

Deepening voids in the darkness of hope
Descending free with just enough rope
Projection of dreams
A final faded lie
I'll dine on my yin

Have my yang with wry
