Jane

As she went walking down the lane
The flowers seemed to bloom and rise
And as she walked she murmured Jane
The little sister gone for days


The trees grew tall the grass grew thick
But none of Jane did they find quick
She’s lost forever some did cry
She’s gone to heaven to the sky


I soon will find her she replied
And every day she looked and cried
Though time went by with out a trace
She did not find the little face


The trees grew tall the grass grew thick
But none of Jane did they find quick
She’s lost forever some did cry
She’s gone to heaven to the sky


Week then month then year went by
She walked the lane ever high
Rain nor snow nor sleet did stop
The now grown women from her walk

Maby a Dream

She walks along,
In silent daze,
Over hearing sounds of gray.

But hear along this silent path,
She watches droplets hit his hat.
Yet hat is not nor man right there,
No tall coat and short dark hair.

Was he a dream?
Did he exist?
The small thoughts grew,
Doubtful and new,
Of who’s, How’s, along with Why’s,
About him, his hat, and Questions of lies.

Imagination, Conjecture, what a strange thing!
That fills the gaps the of empty hopes and dreams.
A single thing unknown to man,
Where impossibilities unstoppable and grand,
Grow beyond what we can hold,
Yet our heads consume it all.

So then if I am so alone,
Is this man truly unknown?
Someone yet know one that does not exist?
Or am I over thinking this?

Wandering

Through the meadows across the plains 
Over mountains and fields of grain
With no companions to lead the way 
Where life blooms and fades away 

Flowers wilt and leaves fall 
When cold north winds answer the call
 The green turns orange but still he walks 
With slow confused and thinking thoughts 

To lose the love that he adores 
Of family, friends, and sad neighbors 
All at once his world did fall 
But time wears on without a loll

The memories flash through his head 
Of flickering fires over fed 
Of panic, confusion and worry
With no thought but hurry 

And now he’s sure he didn’t once think 
Of family roaming alone in the brink   
But worst of all, the question is 
Can he live with what he missed?
