Wanderings


Trees, aching,
deprived of limb
stark against the
orange-hazed
polluted
night-time sky.
Mourning
for those they have
loved and lost.
Separated,
cut
Broken
yet free from
the fetter that bind
Standing tall and proud
Regardless
of all that has been
and will be
who knows
what the future brings
and what the past has dreamed
It's not for us
or them
to know

?


Questioning
without answers
and yet it's right
no escape
just constant learning

Dreams


All that we feel
is that real?
or is it just
illusions
dreams of what could be
that will fade
like a star
dimming as the morning light
creeps across the sky
Blinking our way through life
Hoping each time we open our eyes
that this time
in this dawning
peace will be ours.
