Just Talk

Let’s talk of things that used to be

About days and memories of long ago

About everything just you and me

And bring them forth, remember the snow?

Our hearts will return to those yesteryears

Especially the time we parted

Even though filled with many tears

We clung to the dreams we had started

We will discuss how life had other plans

Remembering each and every day

How we were in God’s hands

Even though we had to go a separate way

Now time has brought us to this place

Of memories about our special walk

And even though we aren’t face to face

We can dream again and just talk.

Old Pictures

A strange mood has come over me

One of sadness but not quite

Grief has a soul of it’s own

It must had visited me in the night

I have lost so much in my life

Yet gained the blessings of the sweetest friends

Still I feel as if I don’t quite measure up

Lost somewhere on a road that never ends

I haven’t walked the way of others so much

Not the life of the party I guess

I’m an old soul with ingrained traits

And trusting to much has made me a mess

Seeing the old pictures of times long ago

That mingle with the pictures of now

Grabs my heart with such grief

Yet on I must go

God please show me how

I wait for a future that may never come

Promises are broken when reality steps forth

Can’t go back to pick up the pieces of a broken heart

So sadness and regret dwindle my worth

I see others twirling on life’s dance floor

Enjoying many things but still I wait

Can’t chisel in stone what is to come

Hopefully my last dance won’t be to late

So i sit here holding my grieving heart again

Seeing old pictures of sweet love yet sorrow

I wander back over my life’s path of memories

Of lost yesterdays, today, and maybe tomorrows.

Angels of Love

Angels of love fly from heaven

Into our human hearts

Filling them with such grace

We see them everywhere

Then not at all

Still we know they are there

In a whisper on the wind

A movement caught by the eye

Our hearts coming alive

With memories of them

Embracing the moments caught in time

Taking us back to happier days

Giggles of laughter at a joke

Tears as we grieve our loss

With each memory we are lifted higher

Every divine occurrence reminding us of them

And we know we have be blessed

Beyond measure by these amazing Angels of love.

Lost Moments

Memories swirl within an aching heart

Tears flow from dark nights to daylight

Searching for peace but it hides

Thorns of regret and what if’s

Play their own sad songs

The unknowns dance among

The tattered dreams of what was not

And might never be

Still the flowers of hope

Try to bloom in this dark place

Maybe’s and could be’s call

But no answers come

Will tomorrow bring back

The dream that was lost?

The morning mist softens

The edges formed by doubt

Still the clock of time

Steals the seconds of mortality

They are placed with each click

Beyond the reach of yesterday

And into this life of lost moments.

When the Dream Was New

There is a sadness creeping in

Thoughts of long ago

When the dream was new

Are fading like the horizon

In the rear view mirror

Leaving just memories of what was

Forcing the now to witness

This letting go

Hearts turning every which way

Because they’re lost in this maze of regret

For what time has stolen.

Yet to Cry

Trying to find the words

To describe how I feel

I am sad yet hopeful

Wanting to laugh

And yet to cry would be okay

Hope is dwindling to a slow drip

Others must always come first but really?

Is this a pity party I’m putting together?

What is this melancholy mood?

I want my dreams back

They have gone away again

And I can’t search for them

Life plays tricks on me

Makes promises which are not kept

Doubt dances with regret for time lost

Time that will never come back

Future minutes and seconds are only borrowed

And must be returned

How sad to never be able to plan a ‘for sure’

The unknown will win again over want

Now there is rain in my eyes

With no clouds in the sky

I wish I knew the answer

Maybe then I could see my dreams

And visit them for a spell.

Waiting

FBO 11/14/19

Not long ago in a faraway land

I call my mind

I had dreams and promises in place

Then life shook them to the ground

Like overripe fruit

Now they lay beyond time and space

Not knowing if they will survive the fall

How did I get to this place of always waiting?

Why must I wait, and wait, and wait?

Will I have to search beneath the leaves of Autumn

For seeds of faith to believe again before winter’s chill

How will I know when the wait is over?

Will bells chime and whistles blow

In acknowledgement of it’s end?

Can the clouds of doubt be blown away

By simply believing I can survive the storm?

No answers are forthcoming

No phone calls or texts that will give me hope

My heart is programed to expect less

So it won’t hurt anymore

But still it waits, and waits, and waits

Maybe in the morning I’ll know

So I’m waiting for the answers

That will shore up the dreams.

Winter Kisses

As night falls on Autumn days

Winter kisses blow across the land

Frost sparkles in the moonlight

Of the Harvest Moon

Warmth tries to stay but loses out

The chilly air has won

Holidays beckon us onward

To deep festivities of turkey and tinsel

Lights dangle from roofs of many houses

Just to shine with yuletide wonder

Be ready! as winter kisses blow across the land.

Shattered Dreams

My mind says to let you go

But my heart says absolutely no

I walk around in turmoil and grief

Lost in sadness and such disbelief

I only want what is best for you

But I don’t know what else to do

If only I could make some plans

Put my life in God’s perfect hands

But I’m so afraid you would be lost

And I am not willing to pay the cost

So I wander down this lonesome trail

To give up means that I might fail

To have the life I want with you

I still care so much that is true

For time is not always as it seems

In my world of shattered dreams

There Was Always Hope

Today I have made a choice at last

Choosing to become complete

I will take the moments in my past

That may be sad or oh so sweet

And knit them to my heart today

With the golden strands of life

And starlight from the Milky Way

Keeping joy to guard against the strife

I faced my hardships and trials

Walking the darkness of the scary night

Following the wrong paths of denials

Yet always coming back into the light

Many times it was so tiring just to cope

But knowing in the end I would be okay

My dream knew there was always hope

And, Father God, to show me the way.
