The course of nature
The river flows on,
the world turns, the seasons change,
just as it should be.
The river flows on,

Whispers
from the deep dark
“You are not strong enough
there is no way you can survive
“Give up”
you have got to be kidding me.
I’m worlds stronger than some
godforsaken
whispers.”
Sudden surprises
the sun rises even though
the night has fallen.
The little poisons
creep in so quietly that
we can’t feel the death.
The die is cast,
its face unknown;
behold all the hopes
in this little stone.
Today’s pale grey sky
offers not a shred of hope
under mute colors.
There are
some things for which
“inconsolable” can’t
begin to state the depth of my
feelings.
I can feel the rain
as it creeps ever closer
to my clouded heart.
It is where I watch
all the could be’s and may be’s
before they just are.
Children
grow up so fast
and before we know it
our boys and girls have all become
adults.
