there is a place
for simpler times
sitting on a merry-go-round
watching life pass by
and all the fun there is
remembering the past
holding onto the present
looking out for the future
a moment arrives
as breath leaves the body
the heart renews
life continues round
the merry-go-round
pink sunset evening
on winter wind I see her
sparrow falls in flight
bin liner
black mamba
danger danger
who can tell
where he came from
this foreign creature
tortuous twisting shape
of a snake
moving in the grass
bin liner mamba
danger danger
don’t bite me
spring is in the air
now the bees have woken up
to the plum blossom
Robin on my porch
in autumn time still singing
sunny afternoon
starlight during the day
I hear her call
moonlight shines down
I see her fall
escape down a fire escape
to hide from them all
embrace dreams
to hold a candle too
reposition life
to a standstill
beckon forth from within
thirst for knowledge
the key to begin
perpetuate love
we are all dreamers
waiting for the call
in the harsh light of day
as the sea reflects
its thoughts lay upon us
each breaking wave
onto the shore
speaks of longing
of finding moments to share
when we have lost someone
but not forgotten them
may their memories never fade
writing down
what feels right
easy to control
correcting mistakes
if things get too repetitive
just use the delete
there are many words
to choose from
it feels almost natural
the words appear on the page
copy and paste
so easy to change
no need for plagiarism
everyday use
keyboard notes
swallow
fly away home
always reaching
new destinations
the call of spring rings true
as do the leaves of autumn
when summer has gone
and winter has come
parting of the ways
leave behind sweet memories
of bygone days
The Golden Tears
