passing over the mountain
did they hear its chant?...

-----------passing over dying shadows

nothing to feast on

the wind came and carried them away

Sitting observing the Stars and Stripes 
Gently wave from its high perch

Storm clouds are passing over
Will the storm pass today but come tomorrow...

Rising
From the sand

Modified glass
An unusual spark

Passing over
A shifting wait

Leaving a trace
Open incite

Spilling out
A whisper

Rising

Wets
The
Lips....

How quiet are the closing moments
of Winter

Its final lingering shadow
passing over your regret

Days lengthen into night,
returning Blackbirds a good tiding

What ended in shades of red and brown
—beginning once again

"Remember this"

His last words holding onto me as he died

I never knew what he meant

Was it: 'remember me?'

Was it: 'remember you?'

Those words seem to haunt me

I'll never know the truth.

Imagine passing over in mid sentence?

What a cruel yet funny way to lose!...

Why me?
The news will tell.
While shopping at the mall,
An innocent bag untended - 
Why waste a call or raise a false alarm
For that which might or might not be?
Left in unholy haste.
Preterition.
Not me!

The Rainbow bridge stretched ahead
In brilliant white light without dread
Loving arms open up for me
Beckoning me to them finally

The years melt away to nothingness 
A love for those dear ones I confess
No more want or grief to be found
The final journey is where I’m bound.

Still water and a black dog tasting flesh in her mouth 
On a bridge as thin and fragile as a strand of hair 
Passing over transparent flames, she saw her image 
Howling over a dog tasting a gem of ruby 
Ignited, Sophia plunged straight at the black lion 
Anguished now in waves of wails, a white lamb helped her out...

Before the sun down
Start the cooling of day
You'll see flock of birds
Passing over the sight swiftly
See boats coming from far going ashore
Feast to dine with, caring the body
As your back wants to lay on bed
Reminds us that it's time for a rest
And say a thankful prayer goodnight
For all the day's accomplishment....

…the numbers love
equality
and don’t discriminate
to be with
or without.

Future is in fleeting existence-
cherish your sight as much as your photographs
and hold the mirror in your heart.

Clutching the hand of the sun,
passing over and over similarly to it’s dawn before,
The moon remains for it’s next rise. 

Grow with it...

I see the moon tonight, the clouds still passing over.
I see your tears tonight, they burn as I get older 
So many laughs and joys we never could have known
The world but all destroys the beauty of love we hold.
A life without your smile, a prison of dark and cold.
Existing on a lie. The truth rarely gets to know.
Demons here tonight demanding of my soul
I see the moon tonight and beg of it to guide me home....

To grow old is not
a vain thing to do,
to be young again is
not to be.

Life drifts by as
a blink of an eye
or as a shadow
passing over our heads.

Someday we will look
at our last sunset, when
we close our eyes
in death.

Wasted chances, dreams
faded away, never to
come to past,
will be forever gone.

Dreams can come to
you still, as long as
there is breathe
in your old body.

a thunderstorm passing over -
gun turrets flash
gray hulls rumble and roll
above tumultuous clouds

evening commences to weep -
a damp emotive capsizing
that barely touches upturned faces

as seafaring battles go
it was a sky-skirmish
of near misses

a backwash of electric fizz
the distant sound 
of sailors shouting for rum

light blinks 
shipping damp echoes
that drip
into a salty bucket
of silence...

The piece in our mind is rare.
The piece in our hearts untrue.
We seek our light from the sun.
We crave the night of the moon.

Lost is the innocence of life heard in any dark river’s tune. Each day leads into a night. Age creeps by with every cloud passing over the moon. 

Age can’t contain your soul. Age can’t define the beauty of you. Your soul is the nature of life. The beauty of life will always be within you....

Light up the candle 
To lessen the darkness
To step forward with lusterless
Passing over hurdle

Like the fireflies
In the moonless land
That queue blink lights band
To scout in the sky

Poor candle dim
Help avoiding wrong steps
Guiding the path with pep
To the goal in good trim

Helpful candlelight
Flip-flops in the velvet wind
But firmly illuminates within
Ever since ignited

On the far end,
People are coming,
Passing over oceans,
Over mountains and valleys,
Marching to the fertile land,
Oh! Africa,have you explored your land?

Invaders are coming,
Coming to acquire your wealth,
Coming to poses your land,
Coming with all their tricks,
Oh! Africa,have you explored your land?

Corrupt! Corrupt! Leaders,
Are ruining your land,
Letting invaders acquire your grandfather's land,
Only thinking about their gains,
Oh! Africa,have you explored your land?...
