To Touch Forever ...

Amongst the branches

I find my peace

Something tangible

To give me strength

To touch the surface

Of its bark

Beneath its skin

The rings of history

A record of times

It has seen and felt

The seasons of its memory

I lose myself amongst

A song of leaves

Of greens and tints

Of yellow

Sighing in a subtle breeze

Taking in their beauty

For here I find clarity

In often times

I have lost

A space of calm

To start anew

And put my thoughts

To memory

Through its canopy

I can touch the sky

Feel the soft of the blue

And reaching out from

The branches high

Almost touch

Forever …

Silence Again ...

Now the silence falls again

Like a veil of coldness

It closes in

Thoughts of unknowing

Hurt me again

I wonder this time

If it is the end ...

I went to your place

And you were gone

Not a word, a memory

Left to resound

Emptiness is all I found ...

So here I am alone again

What am I to do 

How do I go on?

Lost in sadness

Will it ever end?

Left to wonder

What did I say?

To make you leave

For you to go away ...

What did I ask of you?

That was too much

For you to say

All I needed

Some kind words

From a friend ...

Not a word

Not an answer

Silence again.

Now you return

To your solitude

Once again

Seeking silence

Your closest friend …

Where Is The Hope?

Where is the hope?

Is there nothing more to say

I reached out to touch you

But you have drawn away

I spoke with sincerity

Trying to explain

The hurt that I shared

Trying to ease your pain

My words were sincere

What more can I say
Where is your heart
The one I thought cared

And what of our friendship

I thought we once shared

Lost and forgotten

Have you taken it away

Where are you now

And your words of yesterday

Where is their warmth

Left to fade away

Your kind words of the past

My comfort for each day

Now a tapestry of memories

Unraveling and frayed

Memories of a friendship

I thought would always stay

Where is your warmth

That touched me each day

Where is my hope now?

Since you have turned away.

Thinking of the Past

Thinking of the past

Memories pass over me

Like gossamer thoughts

They fade all too soon

I try to remember

When happiness found me

And try to forget

When you left all too soon

Once more I am alone

Lost in sadness

Again in the shadows

Trying to find my way

Deep and deeper I fall

Into the abyss of silence

I am almost at the end

Oblivion calls  …
