I Swung From the Willow
I swung from the willow,so careless and free;from ground to air,her strong branches carried me. In the shade of the willow,our secrets we shared;two best friends just sitting,all frustrations were aired. We met at the willow,and smiled as we talked;somehow we returned there,whenever we walked. The willow meant comfort,a safe place to rest;all who walkedContinue reading “I Swung From the Willow”

We Break Free
We leap, and fall,trying to leave the land of failuresand loneliness behind;striving to clear the hurdlesand reach the land of dreams,where our hopesand desires dwell,waiting for us to reach them.

WeContinue reading “We Break Free”

Until You Return To Me
I can’t live there,in the land of broken dreams;where shadowy wisps reach,daunting and teasing. Nor can I dwellin the sea of broken hearts,where the watery graves run,crashing and thrashing. I cannot climbthe mountain of despair,where snow-crested hills crumblein dark isolation. I will not follow youdown the dark and twisty streets,where shadows fall,and unseen eyes watch.Continue reading “Until You Return To Me”
The Tears I’ve Shed
The tears I’ve shed,so many,enough to fill a river,and then some. They flow freely,releasing my sorrow,until it pools,silently at my feet. When they dry,sorrow has dissipated,but not erased,they will come once more. They hurt,they heal,they gather,they fall. Like silent dropsin an ocean,unseen,unheard. Yet, I will savour my tearsfor in their releasingcomes a knowing,that I lovedContinue reading “The Tears I’ve Shed”
