Best Changes Poems

Woe to the hands of time
Woe, how quickly it changes
Changes with so much haste
Changes without stop
Stop wrong ideas
Stop feelings of hate
Hate is wasted emotion
Hate causes wounds
Wounds that remain
Wounds need to heal    
Heal with kindness
Heal with belief
Belief in my words
Belief that I pursue
Pursue...

changes

summer days shiver
 shadows ride the rising mists ~
  orange red moon rise

long days grow shorter
 wisps of afternoon linger ~
  remnants of summer

lazy fall mellows
 sleepy sunbeams stretch their legs ~
  pumpkins glow amber

red apples ripen
 golden pears grow large and...

The asphalt driveway is blackened over by rain 
sand bags lie in the corner of the garage in case water creeps in, some sheep scurry in distant fields 

Your elephant eyes are locked on the TV; 55 inches of electronic love
I liked lying under the...

Proud daffodils have bowed their weary heads
And roses shed their petals one by one,
Green leaves transform to gold and fiery reds
The gilded reign of autumn has begun.

New Years Day
Is a time for change
People change for the better
Some don't change at all
Most don't follow through
My New Years resolution
Is to not fall
Into the endless pit
Of abandonment
And follow through
With my New Years resolution...

Pinpointing the very moment
your rose coloured glasses came off
and the curtain opened
a terrifying moment
seeing evil working in plain sight
bringing in the digital age
the climate change cage
all the sweet lies
with deceit and corruption
the truth may be painful
but a foundation to move forward
we ride on the back...

When our hopes and dreams are shattered
And they seem to be out of range
It’s the ability to know what we need
In our lives to make a change.

We must find out what’s important
Not what we want, but what we need
Our lives should be filled with love...

Lady, Don't say I didn't try to warn ya
But I'm taking this thumb all the way to California
I'm just gonna go
Even though I love you so
Got a ramblin' urge that just won't let me rest

Took my guitar and the clothes that's on my back
Got my...

Open eyes to bright sunshine 
This feels like the first day 
Can't imagine what went before
Like a scene from an Ibsen play

The thought of you a lightning bolt
The kind that hits you twice
You are the catalyst demure
Sin pays a heavy price

I'm singing a new song
Euphoric...

Mid-day darkness crept across the browning meadow
Autumn sought a place to practice her ritual perfidy,
Menacing as an evil spirit she hovered like a shadow
Transformed the green, plucked blooms ruthlessly.
Strewing the lush foliage laid barren along the path
As though a windstorm had tossed it with no...

a sculpture carved without a finish......
a painting left incomplete......
a book still with a bookmark in page ten....
an emotion well hidden,well kept....
deep cut in  empty heart once full of love....
forever,things left unsaid..........

Change is the only constant - we know this to be true,
Some of us wait them out - to see what will ensue.
Still others try to fight them, happy with the way things are,
A few fall into day dreams and wish upon a star.

Some changes...

UNDEFINED  (a true story)

The morning after the total housefire, 52 years ago, when 
    the journalist asked the elderly man, 
“How do you feel after this tragic, sudden death of your wife?”  
I’d expected to hear a few sad words...

So much growth just passes by
while our hours are on the fly.
Whether we grow and absorb
or miss each sight and single word,
our moment’s entire, total sum
is effected by each passing one.

Time spins people in and out.
Time may whisper, time may shout.
It is not clear on...
