Alone and lost in thought
Thoughts of life to come and future unknown
Hope for a better tomorrow.
I leave most behind,
To acquire things long denied.
To see life beyond my horizon
Alone and quietly mulling… Continue reading “Good Friend”

My Mind’s Made Up
I made my choice
I stick by it
quit! said a voice
but I’m determined
people screamed foul
but my mind’s made up
I was called out
They said I’m all done
But my choice’ll pay out
And my shame’ll be gone Continue reading “My Mind’s Made Up”
The Cost
A screeching halt
Reflecting and re-evaluating
Taking stock of what is left and what you’ve lost
Counting the cost of what you’ve gained,
Was it worth it? Is this all you get?

Tick Tock
In tune with the rhythm of time
Slowly swaying to the melodious chime
Aware of the falling notes
Like a fast sinking boat
Tick says the clock
Life’s clock is ticking by
Telling on everyone alike
With every tick unfolds a new mystery Continue reading “Tick Tock”
Lost
Alone in the woods, scared out of my wits
so dark, I could almost feel the darkness
stumbling and staggering through
feeling my way forward
searching for the faintest ray of light at least
how did I get here?
Lost in my own world! Continue reading “Lost”
The Good Ol’ Days
Gone are those days!
the good ol’ days…
This makes me wonder how good those days were…
love reigned among all?
No racial killings?
No ritual killings?
No sociopaths loose on streets, killing under the guise of fighting for something Continue reading “The Good Ol’ Days”
