Welcome Mat

The welcome mat wore out

After many years of use.

Many good friends are gone,

But left an imprint for life.

 

I keep it stored away

And now an then I take it out.

It reminds me of good times

And all the friends I had.

 

But now the days are shorter;

Lifes ebb and flow not the same.

I guess we all face that moment,

When our spirit must depart.

Omega Factor by John Henning

Take some time to walk outside of your own mind and into another, walk slowly and carefully; the mind that you step on might be your own.

She Intrigues Me, Revelations Of Love by Jon Willey

If you tend to believe romantic, passionate, masculine poetry is a thing of past eras, read "She Intrigues Me," and be swept away in the beautiful craft of a contemporary poet of love.
