Hold On

If i never get to say goodbye,
Know i loved you so.
The warmest rays of sunshine days.
To frigid hearts, so cold.
Sometimes hope is not enough,
To watch a flower grow.
I pray to God to end this pain,
Alas, it ever flows.
Like pouring rain
From thunderstorms,
The sweet glow of the moon.
Time is here, all is now,
Hush my baby, soon.
As Snowy days await the spring
Summer always goes.
Autumn leaves
Fall from the trees,
And scatter through my soul.
It’s Never good-bye,
Just so long,
So long, you’ll never know.
A longing that i long to leave.
Faith won’t let me go.

 

I exist in the depths of the shadow

     my mind.

My soul seeks comfort.

   The dew that collects

on the petals that glisten

   rays of sunshine.

Love? What of it?

   A memory of the ways things

could be.

  Some far off distant future

past rivers rushing childhood

  glimpses.

No more safety net daydream

  afternoons.

Spoon fed happiness tastes

   bitter as it curdles with age.

Home seems so far back the road

  is long with destination unknown.

Long winters.

  Stuck in the middle. I couldn’t

find my way if I turned back.

   Gentle hands of time.

Hold me.
