Today, wanders aimlessly, in a valley of dread. Waiting on life's destiny, that's nowhere to be led
Tomorrow, is the same, seen in this context. That today is only tomorrow On life's journey to the next.
Mirage is a journey's destination, a road untraveled, unknown. For each step along the way, determines a fate of it's own.
Destiny, the one that waits, knows secrets not revealed. The destinations have no fates, Yet journeys haven't concealed.

I lost my original handle, no password, could not get Sff to reset. the only place i have kept my poetry is on this site. So I need to repost to on my new handle.
This is the first poem I ever wrote......
Oh, how you could make my heart smile The light in your eyes, the excitement in your voice. I thought how lucky I am, all the while I told you I loved you, and meant every word You told me you loved me, and that's what I heard.
We were two mules butting heads, stubborn in many ways. But together we could fight the world and make for better days. You knew we wouldn't be wealthy, and I think that was ok But, a respectable family you'd have, no matter what to pay.
It happened in a moment that would change your life forever. You realized you needed a respectable husband to complete your life's endeavor. For is it not true, what others choose to see If they're not envious of you, why would you need me
Forget the money, the house, and the car. These aren't the things that mattered by far. Your expectations of me, divided your heart and damaged your soul. Something I found I could not console.
The day you expected better of me. The beginning of the end, fate made it's choice No more light in your eyes, or excitement in your voice. A heart was broken, and it was mine. No turning back, you had crossed the line
We stopped telling each other I love you, but I never didn't mean it. And I thought you felt the same, never thinking I was bad Until the day you expected better of me. And me was all I had.

Can I wrap the sunshine and lighten the skies Present it to your heart Shine it through your eyes
Rain keeps falling down Like tears upon your face Soaks into your heart Finding itself a place
Whether it's a storm depends on what you see For hearts can teach eyes of things that could be
Clouds are not to blame for clouds do not reign The sun is just behind asking to come again
If I could wrap the sunshine Present it to your heart The storm may not be over But sunshine's a start

Ponderings.......

Does the Robin sing As the crows squawk? Or does it try to repeat such talk?
The crow with no civility As the song is complicated squawks to disturb tranquility when the tune is unduplicated
Does the lily blush at the site of a rose? never smelling as sweet Nor vibrant red, it knows
The rose and robin should pay it no mind for their song and perfume are shared with every kind
Whether flying high or planted in ground it seems rather silly to become a crow or a lily
I hope this isn't taken badly, it was meant for the rest of us and not to be construed as negative towards anyone.
Yesterday, I wrote another, seems to fit ,to me....maybe we need to think more in terms of love than truth.
Your truth must set you free Locked in the chamber of a gun A casing of righteousness A point of honor hard as blue steel With no other place to go Your truth can blow your mind just pull the trigger

The Forest, the Trees

He sees the forest She just the trees beauty is the beholder which eyes do please
He speaks of the forest She just the trees His beauty and blight in harmony whilst separation she sees
Some do not belong in the forest of the mind trees of crooked trunks and covered with vine
Each has it's place as trees to forest grow Whilst he sees no blight That she seems to know
To understand and communicate each one is unaware That the trees of barren winter Will not leave, do not care

Rose colored spectacle

Is life a painstaking journey into night or dawning of the day, sun shining bright? The glass half empty, or the glass half full A wool sweater, over the eyes to pull?
The glasses you choose, "shades" of black or rose colored spectacles, you keep intact A royal flush, that is a mirage of mind Or a winning hand with just one of a kind
I make my own history, which birth to death abides. Each precious moment, a mystery, on life's train that it rides. Rejoice in moments, they never come again.... weaving life's fabric, one of a kind. For life is joyously unconditional, while other judgements, are just mirages of the mind.
No matter, rain or dark of night, each moments gift , valued preciously For it is a rose colored spectacle, the view I choose to see

Love and Life

The mermaid slips back to the sea Now in hiding, from the sailor in me But there she'll ponder how love goes That life is only what she knows
Lost upon the mermaid's island The sailor seeks the safe highland and there he'll ponder how love goes That life is only what he knows
Love, it may come and go As in life, God has made it so Each measure of joy, not meaning much But simply defined through those you touch
For in seeking the highland, or the sea It matters not, where love can be If your life can touched another heart Then your love can leave, but not depart
Cariad is having another surgery today, I hope you'll all pray with us, for her recovery.

THE SHADOW KNOWS

Born into life's light but no shadow have we How you cast your light is your shadow to be
Age grows shadows that grow with you To cast a long shadow There's somethings to do
Have a friend, give a smile Do some kindness, love awhile Be considerate, go the extra mile Walk in someones shoes be humble, win or lose touch a stranger, bear good news
Always temper temperamental, never judge judgmental Always be respectful, never be neglectful Always be understanding, never be demanding
Good things and more make your shadow grow It will follow you from head to toe
And when your time comes Just keep this in mind. Going to the hereafter leaves your shadow behind

She Came Into My Room

She came into my room Not knowing I was there She touched my heart and soul moved me from there to here
She left the room unchanged that's what others seem to see but my furniture's rearranged In places inside of me
I'll trip over the chair the table is now askew the lamps go on and off without switches to do
She left her words hanging painting pictures of magic's night She added color to the walls Once seen as black and white
The hanging pictures tilt a bit and try to find their place but I can't seem to remember Which way they use to face
I try to put it all straight and forget she ever came but there's too many reminders And it can Never be same
Maybe she will come again let her magic fill the air Get be longings back in order Re-Set my table and my chair
Until she does I'll just have to re-cover There's still so much to do Love's magic to discover

I will tell of my winter night Colors fade to black and white Spring love of the hot and bold Now solitary thoughts bitter cold
A blanket on a sandy beach Finds itself out of reach Just a comforter and a chair Snuggled up a dream of there....
Perchance to see another Spring Black and white becomes rainbowing And flowers created just in thought Become perfumed Roses and Love Me Not
Looking through a window for a return Birds unseen, yet the heart does yearn If someday Spring could come again From a winter night that never ends
