DISCARDED MEMORIES


Source:


The waves cascade,
bringing their baggage to shore.
Debris of lives gone by
and places far away.
Seaweed tickles my toes.
Shells crunch beneath my heels.
A motley display of humanity
sprinkled through the pink sand.

BURIED IN TIME





Secrets buried in the sand hold
hidden memories of lives gone by.
Unearthed remains tell a story.
Dug up pottery paint a picture.
Lives in the past merge with the future.
Differences become insignificant.
Time becomes transient.
The cycle begins again.
Days flow into weeks.
Weeks into years.
Years to centuries.
Centuries fly by.
Nothing is new.
The cycle continues.
Our past becomes our future.
Until the sands of time bury our existence.
Then our future becomes our past.
And the cycle begins again.

MAGIC


Source:

MAGIC
Magic governs our lives.
It sets the course.
The paths we follow.
Igniting in colors.
Creations.
Roaring wildlife.
Sedate sceneries.
Words in a book.
Clouds in the sky.
Magic.

THE FIGHT



The church is on fire.
The town under attack.
Shadows in the wind.
Bringing hell to our homes.
Murder to our families.
Who are they?
What do they want?
We must fight back.
Fight for our lives.
Fight for our town.
Before it’s too late.
Before more disappear.
To the ranks of The Dead.
No more bodies on our shores.
No more victims of their wrath.
We will fight to the end.

FACE THE WIND





I face the wind.
Each day I wait.
For time to pass.
The world to change.
But day by day.
People come and go.
Live their short lives.
Leaving no change at all.

A PEEK



A PEEK

A peek into a window.
Just one peek through the glass.
Imagine what you could see.
What you could witness.
A glimpse of life.
A family.
Warmth, passion, love.
Coldness, hate, fights.
The reality of life.

THE VIEW FROM ABOVE

cityneonlights:


The view from above.
People appear small,
tiny specks in the universe.
Cars are in constant motion.
Everyone is in a hurry,
going around in endless circles.
Going to work, and later
going back home.
Taking elevators up
and then down again.
What’s the hurry?
We all live the same lives.
We live and then we die.
Does it matter where we had
hurried around in between?
All that matters are
who we leave behind.
For these are the only
ones who will remember
that we had been here.
And why we had been here.

FOOTSTEPS IN THE SNOW



So many footsteps.
Where do they lead?
Where are these people going?
Are their lives happy?
Are they walking alone
or in groups?
Why are they in such a hurry?
What can you see in a footstep?
Follow a set and find out.

FLAP YOUR WINGS



Flap your pretty wings
and take flight.
Leave the masses behind.
Fly high to the sky and above.
Soar through the clouds.
Look down upon us.
At those left behind.
To lead our mundane lives.
Fly high and be happy.

FILL THE PAGES



Fill in the pages.
Fill the pages with
words and stories.
The world does not
have to be dark.
It does not have to be dreary.
We do not have to be alone.
We need to fill our lives with
people and events.
Stories to tell our children.
Words to light our paths.
No hovering in the darkness,
waiting for our time to come to an end.
But we need to stand in the light
and enjoy life.
It is short and precious.
But it is our right to fill in the pages.

THE VIEW FROM BELOW



What is the view beneath a bridge?
The bridge soaring high above,
reaching up to the sky.
Visiting clouds on its mighty ascent.
Closer to the twinkling stars at night.
But what about below the bridge?
In the dark shadows of the looming monster.
What secrets lie hidden in the murky water?
Water hidden from the sunlight.
Water kept from the light of the stars.
Are bodies buried below?
Remnants of lives lost on the bridge.
Lives taken by their own hands.
Do you really want to know?
Sometimes the truth is
better kept hidden away.

What a beautiful castle.
What secrets has it seen?
Is it deserted, or
do people live here?
And if so, what are their lives like?
And what about the people
who have lived here in the past?
Did they have grand parties?
Or did they have sad lives and now haunt the castle?
So many possibilities.
There’s no limit to your imagination.

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS LISTEN


detestably:

A beautiful castle.
It stands alone and deserted.
What stories could it reveal to us?
How many lives have passed through
its majestic halls?
Has there been dancing in its rooms?
Or have sadness and death pervaded
its stone walls?
Go inside and listen to its story.
Listen to the sighs and whispers,
emanating from its dark rooms.
What do you hear?
I can hear both sadness and joy
mixed together in its soft sighs.
All you have to do is listen.

THE CASTLE


My favorite!
A creepy castle.
What has happened behind its dreary walls?
What lives have been lived and lost?
What secrets have been hidden?
I can go on,
but you have your imagination
to continue the story.
The castle lives on.
