Music”Achy-breaky-heart”


Poem Artwork

“Knowing”


 


This night comes down in slow degrees


Knowing


All untimely questions will arise


It will ruffle the temper of many


To sour my thoughts


And spoil my vision


With one foot on a banana peel


The other in my mouth


As the sad song of the lonely bird


Will sing along with me


Happy tunes there will never be


Casting your blazing eyes at me


As the night come down on me


Knowing


We can never be

That's because you used to be a gymnist. How else could you have one foot in your mouth, while slipping on a banana? Do you remember what your coach used to say to you when you fell? That still applies. ~ Sara

P.S. - Good poem...lol.

Dear Tinka,

NEVER say never, everything can be if you are just positive and work towards a goal. Don't let insignificant little issues break you down. Be positive and make it REAL....

warm hugs
