Candlewick atop my cake, flame did defy
I feel the fates to my dreams are stonewalling

Oldwife
Through white lattice, out on the porch in August
Fog surrounds, rain dripping from oak leaves, plop
Dew-soaked silvery grass longs to wanderlust
But alas, 'tis stuck in the same whistlestop
Watching the world speed by under those cloudy...

Rippling babbling waves giggling with ebb and flow;
Where...

When the moon casts its silver on the sea
And the cold waves echo their monotone

When There Is Hope
Midnight moon and stars begin to disappear
Once the morning sun starts to rise from deep sleep.
New dawn is about to break with joy and cheer
As it fulfills such a fresh promise to keep.

Peak
Minor strength holds the small seedling from the start;
Allowing it to be placed near the river.
Refreshing water wets the fertile soil’s part;
Yearly fruits fill the branches that grow faster.
Radiant zenith of triumph shines at present

Plight of the ElderlySuppose all around you suddenly vanished,
And you realized you were standing alone
In the twilight of your years feeling banished
Like a pilot-less, rudder-less, helpless drone.
You knew your life was mystifyingly dreamed
With many questions and answers few,
You...
