Sea Ya

A sunny day I hope there be

When my soul returns to sea

A flourish of ash from the bridge I know well

Ancient memories, clear as a bell

 ~

Thrust to the cove of many muddy feet

A world of my own across the street

I’ll mingle with muck then drift with the tide

To the bay, out to sea, spreading far and wide

 ~

Vastly dispersed, forever safe from hell

Eventually to settle with sand, rock and shell

With never a need to shed a tear for me

When tears are unseen in the sea

Time Will Come

Morning’s meant for mourning.

Day’s meant for life.

Evening’s time for rest,

ending the days strife.

~

Morning is time to ponder.

Day is time to do.

Night’s for reflection,

when no one’s watching you.

~

Mornings are the start.

They make the day brand new.

Good or bad, darkness comes,

another chance for moons of blue.

The Melting Clock

~

A clockwork world of humankind

Time’s thought infinite in limited mind

Today’s made with tomorrows pay

Tomorrow’s interest from yesterday

~

Rates of change shared by none

The futures chance is only one

Lies compound and damage’s done

Wars confound, half won

~

Half by half will never end

When imaginary numbers we depend

Time ends with human lives

Time will tell if time survives

Only Love Can

~

Love’s just a word we love to use

It’s the poets’ favorite muse

Sprinkles of confetti on pages everywhere

Words parting lips to blow in the air

*

Yet only love can mend a heart

When suddenly it’s torn apart

And only love can mend a mind

When it’s not treated kind

*

In our world all are human

Sharing forever whether man or woman

And thus to bond as a clan

As only love can, only love can

Outside the Safe

Sticks-a-dozen by chance collide

Metaphorically making a box to hide

Abstracted distractions of imaginary space

Where the views transparently clear

Through these walls we shape around us

To shelter us from our fear

~

Though this box a cell when not a vault

And the combinations given by default

When sticks and bars are the same

The outside’s kept out and inside kept in

And nothing’s ever lost or found

When there’s nothing ever within

Timeless Reflections

Why do mirrors cause such a fright?

They’re little more than bouncing light

Reflections of a time just past

Instant flashes that fade too fast

*

They smile when we’re happy, shun when we’re not

They care not when we’re gone, time’s soon forgot

Just a wall hung shard of glass with backs unseen

With gilded surrounds to heighten their sheen

*

While the image of ourselves is bigger from within

This picture in the glass is less than paper-thin

Just an instant in time soon to disappear

Though every glance a moment that we’ll never share

One Way Ticket

.

The world and I on a different plane

Though destinations are the same

Ticket bought for the morning light

Wasting time till the evening flight

*

Runaways, both it and I

Grading shades of clear blue sky

Rocks may roll, some may fly

Most just buried when they die

*

Scoops will make forever night

Landing time’s now in sight

Running late, none’s to blame

The world and I on a different plane
