Something Lost/Something Gained

Nature's light is turned down low,
but the moon and the stars create a glow.

Dark clouds are huddled to prepare an ambush,
but a spec of sunshine through their fierce grip will push.

Rain, rain seems to forever stay,
but the thirst of the flowers like it that way.

Farewell to life's loves left a heart marred and stained,
but the wisdom imparted could not without be attained.

Troubles and trials, a few have we known,
but hope is in Heaven, an eternal safe home.

Undisturbable Silence

There I sat on the riverbank with rod and reel in hand,
the sun glaring hard into my eyes.
Could anything be finer, I pondered, than the undisturbable silence of this moment?
Then in the distance was a roaring that seemed to approach rapidly.
"Hush! Hush!", I said to the motor boat.
"Don't disturb the silence!"
The roar seemed to intensify, as if to say, "why lady don't you hear the whistling of the
mocking bird?"  "Silence, huh! what silence"?
"Oh but they don't disturb the silence", I replied within myself.
Moments later another annoyance would plead for attention.
"Hush! Hush!", I said to the lover's quarreling.
"Don't disturb the silence!"
Their eyes fixated upon me, sitting there on the rocks with barefeet dangling in the 
river's mouth, as if to say, "why crazy lady don't you hear those children yelling
and splashing in the water?"  "Silence, huh! what silence"?
"Oh but they don't disturb the silence", I conveyed with only the nodding of my head
to their direction.
For an instant my bargaining paid off and time stood still while I stayed and flirted
timelessly with the undisturbable silence of this moment.

Bury Me Never

When in death I close my eyes
then place my body in a box suitable for such,
but Bury Me?  Never!

When the last gasp of air is vanished from my chest
then place this shell I once possessed into the dirt,
but Bury Me?  Never!

When time is overthrown by eternity, I pray thee
cast my ashes into the deepest sea,
but Bury Me?  Never!

Less Lonely

Suppose I had friend, then probably
I could be less lonely.

Imagine I had a child, then possibly
I could be less lonely.

Fathom I had a lover, then perhaps
I could be less lonely.

Howbeit, at this time, I couldn't be less lonely.

Dreams

Dreams are conceived from the seed of a thought.
Protected and cherished to the heart it is brought.
Once planted therein it becomes a small sprout.
A voice of encouragement tends to protect if from drought.
The embrace of faith draws it beyond it's borders.
Bringing to shame the skeptics and hoarders.
Taking it's place in a world hard as stone.
Had fear gained control, dreams would never be known.

Try

"I can't", you say.

I say, "try".

"It's hard you know?"

Still I say, "try".

"I feel alone."

"Try, try."

"There's obstacles."

"Try anyway."

"The world seems cold."

"Try harder."

"I'm weak and tired."

"Try from there."

"I fell down."

"Try again."
