Veteran
Ghosts
Echoes
of the past
firing
of guns,
bombs
explode
planes
roar overhead,
men
scream, drowns out birdsong,
horrors
of war faced every day,
sleep
never comes, eyes blood shot,
leeches
cling to mud splattered skin,
fighting
has passed, memories remain,
forever
the men struggle
their
lives never the same.
The
Phoenix
The
phoenix has risen from the deep, dark,
battered
soul to shine with light
a
light so strong to blind out trouble.
Tears
have flowed, a river of them,
to
cleanse the body of sadness, loss,
wash
away years of built memories.
Hearts
do weep, but do not break, or bleed,
they
are battered, bruised, hurt,
needs
love to repair the damage.
Sunshine
illustriously healed the heart,
darkness
spirited from the deep depth,
life
returns, sadness disappears.
Strength,
health, lightness of spirit, hope, cheer,
rise
with the coming of new days,
Phoenix
has risen from the ashes.
Dark
sorrow driven away with the sun,
laughter,
hope, pleasure, love reign,
eyes
sparkle love, not sorrow.
Mother
Laid To Rest.
Clouds
of peace rose from
the
casket on the alter,
we
stood as one
Jack
and I walked forward
to
place the rose petals with love,
a
mother, great grandmother
had
departed leaving this earth,
to
travel to a land without pain,
took
our place of honor
beside
the casket on this
her
final journey.
Jody
helped escort us
to
the waiting hearse,
she
gladly walked
her
grandmother to the land
of
peace and tranquility,
where
my mother now stands
beside
my father for eternity.
Change
Time
has stood still for me,
now
my time has come to grow
I'll
move forward, one step at a time
to
new expanding horizons, excitement,
be
one with the universe, not separate,
flow
with the waves of life, with time,
express
my feelings, not bottle them
to
become my own person
to
live in harmony.
Atlantis
The
cloud of energy hung over the valley
closed
off the stars from the city below,
air
hard to breathe, sleep restless, draining,
the
energy clears with the rising of the sun,
male
and female wizards stood apart,
men
in the hills, women in the valley,
powerless
men raped and plundered,
women
locked behind guarded walls at night,
Atlantis
was dying, crumbling, rumbling,
too
much energy exposed, earth groaned, cracked,
the
protagonists fought their final battle
as
Atlantis sank beneath the ocean.
Storm
'Twas naught moon nor star burned bright,
dark
clouds rushed fiercely over
mountains,
rivers and fells to
bring
destruction across the land.
Rain
pelts trees, water rushed full speed,
torrents
churned, gouged
ground
from river banks,
logs
sailed, dangerous missiles.
Drowned
animals dragged
battered
on a roller-coaster,
down
with the swirling water
to
end miles away at sea.
Change
Where
have all the men gone,
the
gentlemen who stood beside his woman,
the
ones who were once there to protect you
keep
you safe from harm, you walked above the clouds,
who
shared his life, love with you,
A
love that was forever, not vanish out of sight,
moved
to another bed with the coming of the dawn.
Gentlemen
are rare species,
are
sought but few are found,
men
are now guys with their eye for chance,
ships
passing into the night come morning,
have
moved on to another port,
they
weigh anchor, sail with the breeze,
move
frog like to another bed.
Wishes
Roses
are red
tulips
are too,
hope
you birthday
didn't
make you blue,
may
there be many more
wonderful
years ahead of you.
