Bells and chimes

If actions prove
sentences are simplified
there's no need to explain
so author encounters questions
that cannot be proven
now and then.

Now and then, the misty
depths of her failing mind
clear for a brief moment;
and then she can recall
the beauty that she was;
and to me, remains so.

And catches the light,
Turns now and then in the breeze,
As I sit or nap
It disappears with ease
Then turns with a golden glow.

who share their thoughts

Now and then

When we will see a weeping willow;
Softly shedding tears on our pillow;
Now and then;
Again and again;
Sorrow in sails did billow and billow.

He was a chicken thief now and then.
Until he met a beautiful twin.
Pretended he’d changed.

Taught his children how to swindle men.

His home is on Higher Ground now
He just visits now and then

Voyaging thru the sky
In myriad colours
Looking for his next victim

Rain

We walk together,
Our shoulders touch every now and then,
The rain pouring down your umbrella.
The cold bites.  We hardly talk.
But we find pleasure 
In smelling the rain.
