The Autumn Leaf

 

Deafening Silence

 Screams in silence,

running while standing still, 

numb filled emotion, 

a heart that stands still.

Clouds passing by 

no moon in sight, 

the darkness nears

one day , one life.

Learning

 I was once told that "now is not the time for learning but to enjoy from our experience. "I have come to realize that saying is far from the truth. There is not a day that goes by that I do not have a new experience or a new lesson on life. The day we stop learning is the day we stop living. In retrospect even old experiences reflect upon us new lessons as we age. I believe that is because we see things differently. It reminds me of a Classic movie where each person or child see's the same movie and understands it at their level of maturity. Even I catch myself watching a movie I have seen many times and then saying oooh so that is what that meant. The ability to think , understand and truly comprehend varies with age, time and experience.  It brings me to love and the various ways we love and the people who cross out path.  Our wants and our needs dictate our response to a situation. 

In this moment the moon is shining bright

as I look out the window it's now in sight, 

brings on the memories I shared with you 

in a dream of possibilities lost to the blue. 

I can't explain the feelings inside 

toying with my heart and my mind.

Maybe it has to do with desire 

as nothing replaced that warmth of 

the hour. 

I didn't expect the journey I'm on 

to lead me down the path of a lost song, 

there is a possibility that is true 

that as long as we believe the day is new. 

Humming a wordless song 

in a world that sometimes feels wrong, 

could it be we are still learning that is true

as tomorrow comes no matter what we do. 

Eternal

 Little bit of advice

goes far throughout life, 

for I don't know the why

but I lost track of time.

Confused with the memory

I traced all the stars in the sky, 

wondering what it all meant

and if you ever were mine?

The book of life is short

and the words given in accord, 

in chapters along the way

that reveals what each day has in

store.

Turning the last of the pages,

tired and as tired as I can be,

I think about the path traveled

and what each character meant

to me. 

Sometimes it all made sense

and other times I didn't understand,

but it was the last words spoken

that I'll remember for all eternity.
