Angels sleep
Tom Ponder Jan 2021
Watching an angel sleep
Wondering what she dreams
Does she have hopes and fears
In sleep her Beauty on display
My smile of Joy indescribable
A presence and calming at once
The world comes into Focus
When you watch an angel sleep

Here today gone tomorrow
Tom Ponder Feb 2021
Here today and gone tomorrow
Pay attention or prepare for sorrow

Life as we know it is all to fleeting
Never pass a chance for a heartfelt greeting

Life ever after is something we all know
Life on this planet just isn't so

Kinship for those we hold dear
Losing them is what we all fear

Take the time to open your heart
even when you are miles apart

Live your life  And remember your friends
Tomorrow's never promised
It could be the end

Life is a race we all get to start
The journey with loved ones is surely the best part

Im simply reminding  All those who will listen
Pull your friends close the ends not so distant.

Moving
Tom Ponder Jan 2021
I'm moving towards what I want

I'm moving towards who I want to be

I tell you I'm moving...
  I want you to see

Be true to yourself
move toward what you know

Move to be an example of
change and watch yourself grow

Love like two rivers
Tom Ponder Feb 2021
Our love is like two rivers

Each independent and strong
Carving through the landscape
Searching for a bond.

creating  their own course through the peaks and valleys in life
Flowing past  the obstacles and  cutting through the strife.

Twisting and turning to make their own journey
Flowing towards the ocean Seemingly in a hurry.

Both Unaware of each others path
Stretching for the horizon unaffected by life's wrath

Rivers flowing and  turning a bend
Soon joined by another together they blend.

Now the power of this force is easy to see
Joined together they form a powerful entity

Destiny brought them together by chance
Able to maneuver this grand dance

Now together their force cannot be split
together ,forever in in life's little skit

Talk
Tom Ponder Feb 2021
If I talked to you yesterday
like I do today
would my mind let me convey what I really wanted to say
Did life's harsh winds
  need to blow away the clouds
To show me the beauty
that was there all along.
Living for the moment in the past
Not realizing those moments were destined to last
In a hurry to get through the journey
Not realizing the meaning of eternity.
Life's a teacher of eternal wisdom
No shortcuts to your clear vision
   Life tries to paint its own picture on your Heart
  Never let it take away what you have known from the start

Sunshine
Tom Ponder Jan 2021
I see your smile in the sunshine of beautiful days
Golden Hair reflecting the light of those warming rays.
Internal beauty with no end
Destined to set a heart Ablaze
A smile so captivating one dares not to avert their gaze
Sunshine in your life
Sure to take away your Gray's

— The End —
