A Castle Fell

To loose a crown,

When a castle fell,

In ruins the kingdom of a heart,

For love fell to one's knees,

Surrendered to the truth,

It was not meant to be,

For the jester's tears,

Seeped,

Laughter lost,

In the darkness,

Now one sleeps.......

 

Horizons

Two horizons meet,

Like starring eyes,

Through the clouds,

The crowded room,

They see you,

You see them,

The ignition of a flame,

You both believe in.......

Spaces

Spaces fill the gaps,

Time fills a void,

Grains of sand falling,

An hour glass draining,

Hands moving,

Clockwise,

Counting minutes,

Effortlessly,

Pass bye,

As a dawn is born,

That day has passed by,

From  yesterday to tomorrow,

The present is a gift,

The gift is the path,

This individual journey,

From the first day,

To the last........

Graced

Graced with the rising Sun,

A new day born,

This day has begun,

With the Sun crossing the horizon line,

Warming rays,

Caress the bay,

With kissing waves,

On golden shores,

With a gentle sound,

Of rolling pebbles,

As the tide,

Lowers with the time,

With shadows coming out to play,

All occurring in a natural way....

Dawn in Torbay

 

Whispering Trees

Whispering trees,

One is listening,

To the words carried in the breeze,

Watching the limbs,

Dancing with the wind,

Music made by the leaves,

With drifting clouds,

Floating by,

High above the canopy,

With daffodils,

A carpet of yellow,

Spread over the woodland ground,

With a chorus of birds,

Flying free,

In nature's play ground,

A waterway runs it's course,

With a flash of blue,

The kingfisher is around,

Angling on his fishing ground....

On One's Own Path

On one's path,

One must go,

It makes no difference,

If one goes fast,

Or if one goes slow,

No destination,

Clear in the mind,

Just moving forward,

That's all,

In one's own time,

That's all that one knows.....

Magic in a Pen to Catch a Readers Eye

The magic comes with a pen in hand,

When emotions transfer upon a page,

When letters join in harmony,

That is where the sentences are made,

To catch a readers eye,

Maybe heartfelt,

Will bring a tear to an eye,

For if a heart string is pulled,

That memory reoccurred,

Of a time and a place,

Maybe even that ex-lovers face,

Or maybe that special one,

That sadly passed away.........

The Light Has Faded

Love in my life,

You have lost me,

My light is faded,

In the darkness you strayed,

On a path,

I found a way,

It led me with the dimmer of a ray,

To the dawn of a new day,

With a new direction,

Which led me far,

Far away........

Twists & Turns on Life's Path

Twists and turns,

On life's individual path,

The unexpected and unexplained,

That leaves one listening,

To the thoughts,

Spoken by the internal voice,

Within the brain,

Heart and mind,

In conflict and confusion,

Leads to scribbling and scratching with a pen,

In the darkness of night,

Under a candle light,

Before a new day is born,

Capturing the letters to form the words,

Sentences born,

Lines to be read,

The release of emotions,

In the rawest form,

Tells the story,

From the soul,

Of a carrying vessel.....

Another Dimension

It was a wish made,

Within the dream,

Another dimension,

Another time,

In another space,

Still on the mind,

In a real time,

Now and again,

A sign is seen,

Is it deja vu,

What does it mean,

Morning Born

A new day,

With a morning born,

The start of the week,

A new path found,

With cherry blossom beginning to show,

The first duckling,

Swimming on the pond,

With new born lambs,

Jumping in the field,

Spring is showing,

A lovely time of the year,

Soon it will be Easter,

When a bunny will be hopping around .....

A Duckling

A Robin

A Robin flew to a tree on my path,

This was fate,

It was meant to be,

He sang a song,

In his merry way,

Only a few will understand his words,

This brought joy,

In so many ways,

For as he flew away,

A smile was born,

As I knew I would see him again,

On another path,

On another day.....

Robin 

A Thousand Words

To write a thousand words,

How one feels,

But cannot find those eyes,

Who would read,

A message unread,

For a thousand years,

Maybe in another lifetime,

Is when we are meant to be......

Rose & Bones 

Sat

Sat on a path,

At the dawn of the day,

Cross roads in sight,

Thinking which way,

To the left or to the right,

Or straight ahead towards tonight,

Can one decide without questioning why,

Sat on a path,

The Sun now high,

Warming rays,

Brighten the sky,

To step with the left,

Or step with the right,

Can one decide before tonight,

Sat on a path,

At the end of the day,

Could not decide,

Decided to stay,

The cross roads now lit,

With a lunar ray,

Maybe tomorrow,

One will find one's way.......

 

Chasing A Path

Chasing a path of dreams,

At the break of day,

A picture in my mind,

Is it you,

Can't catch up,

Upon a path,

The hands of time,

Move so fast,

The sand it drains in the hour glass,

As it gets turned again.....

The days are past,

Soon it will be a new month again.....

Feel The Glow

To feel the glow of the morning sun,

The warming rays,

The start of the day,

To warm a soul,

In so many ways,

That brings a smile,

As one goes along on one's way,

To let the day unfold,

With memories made....

Sun Plant

To Fall From The Highest Heights

To fall from the highest height,

No wings to save one from one's plight,

To hit the ground with all one's might,

Impression made a grave to sight,

To lay there without,

Out a care,

Contemplating the nightmare,

In the darkness of  the night,

But to rise again with the rising sun,

Feeling the warmth of a new day born,

To start again,

In the direction you choose,

For the priority is you,

The Darkness of Night

In the darkness of night,

One had lost sight,

There was no light,

That is where a path was found,

For trust,

On a path unknown,

Taken with the blind foot steps,

Forward one goes.....

Following A Path

Do you follow the path,

Of the one that leads,

To see them trip and fall,

To laugh and mock,

As they rise from the floor,

The ground they have risen from before,

To look in awe,

For the internal strength,

To heal and ignore,

Scars earned over time,

Visible from the falls before,

As they dust themselves off,

To press forward,

On a path,

Guided by light,

That shows at the break of dawn,

Unbreakable in nature,

An inspiration to us all.....

The Morning Sun

To rise with the morning sun,

This new day has begun,

The glow brings a smile to a face,

Survived the night,

To the light of a day,

A shadow is born,

One is not alone,

To walk beside you,

On the path one takes,

A friend for life,

All the way,

The one who hides in the darkness of night,

But the first to appear when there is light.....
