A Poem ... As We Mourn

As We Mourn

A lonely lake
A frozen shore
Memories lost
In forgotten yore

Echoes drift
In empty space
Splendor fades
Abandoned place

Lonely soul
Winter born
Sings alone
As we mourn

A Poem ... Kori

Kori

Cold gusts

Race around

Leaves blow

Across the ground

Grey clouds

Fill the sky

Heavens rumble

Start to cry

Sadness

Rests a heavy hand

No Joy

In this land

Wait, wait

She’s here at last

Her presence

Breaks the fast

Golden smile

Lights the place

Laughter fills

Every space

A Poem ... The Boy

The Boy

He listened

  As his father read

Visions filled

  His little head

Stories told

  By clever men

Life was fun

  Way back then

Adventure captured

  With simple thought

Dauntless heroes

  Villains caught

Eyes close

  Ambrosia sleep

His father watches

  And starts to weep.

A Poem ... An Echo Dim

An Echo Dim

She sat and watched

Her children play

She had to go

She couldn’t stay

Invisible wisp

Silent tear

Taken too soon

The greatest fear

Can she trust him?

Will he do it right?

Tender souls

Pitiful plight

She calls his name

That is never heard

She sobs again

That fateful word

He knows her voice

An echo dim

He’s not alone

She’s with him
