Best Departs Poems

Lost leaves repeat their yearly teardrop curtain fall

                in blended rhythms cry ~
  departing hues of autumns call

Peace dwells in mind
Peace is an occurrence of harmony in mind
Where it treads violence retread in fear
Peace is never armed but shields itself in honesty
It it silences conflict behaviors
And ushers in the freedom from fear 
Those who adapt peace
It means life today, tomorrow and beyond
Those...

(written for one who lost)

We lose a daughter, then we lose another,
yet find much sympathy that comes from all;
and know such sympathy will reach a mother
with many words that spring with every call.

We know the pain we dread and much ordeal
give such a state of...

The more I think the more I'm sure
The odds were stacked as all can see,
The Media's rotten to the core
At least on that we should agree.

But two years on what do you think,
Did sleepy Joe succeed or fail,
I hear so many took to drink
Watching the...

The old year leaves us pushed aside
as the clock strikes midnight hour
leaving behind the hopes and aspirations
      of us mere mortal souls

     Look back not with regret
     for it is done and...

Yellow
beams glistening
on close growing clover-
when the lark departs is summer
over?

Tedious toil from dawn to dark,a farmhands days then so harsh and stark.The 
clockhands ticks round slowly by one by one,Pa's work ending with the setting 
sun.Daybreak and sunset he milked the cows,in between with the...

A soldier dies for the sake of his country
He lived in a land where we’re all meant to be free

Bleeding from his wounds he speaks before his life is done
“Not every soldier goes to heaven and I fear that I am one”

“I fought to save...

Take a moment, for your eyes to focus, upon this frozen agony of time
Death has many forms in this wasteland; hold your breath short for death is impatient
For if nature would bless this blasted land with fruit, it would taste of bitter sorrow
To touch this...

We never saw it coming
but it came
like the sound of the trumpet
heralding the doomsday-
that day, dark as the night
bereft of moon and stars,
that announced your departure.
You were a priest
that santa-claused without ceasing,
brightening every cloudy sky
you met with the sun.
Though separated are we
by the great river
you've...

A piece of music takes us by the hand
and leads us through its world from time to place,
from place to time by hand from land to land
within a vast expanse in which to pace.

But soon it's gone, has left my ears and life,
and moved its...

And then, the angel shouted, their ears perked

Those waiting shouted,  “We are gathered here ~ hiding.”

"The tales are true, dear majesty, and we doubted."

And, with a wisp, they, and the pheonix departed

Una donna rattristita e velata dal pianto,
guarda verso un mare
piu' squallido di questo invernile mattino: 
rimpiangendo i pensieri dolci
cullati dalla nostalgia di ieri
che non sara' facile dimenticare!

Una nave parte,
si ode il suo rombo...
si infrancono
onde tempestose
sulla spiaggia
non troppo giocanda:
quanto e' doloroso un'addio!

C'e' una tristezza indissolubile
e i...

When a man departs flies off into oblivion.
Everybody encounters the place,
is much closer to what we believe
and yet hidden.

Oblivion
covered with layer upon layer of feigned feelings
covered with layers and layers of loving dedication to those who have been by your side.

No matter how far we...

Tomorrow will become today shortly
Today will retreat to yesterday shortly
Time waits for nobody
Time comes and goes
Without stops
We have wasted two years because of covid
But time will never compensate
When we're still small we want to grow up faster
When we are old we want to linger as...
