They say one foot in front of another, I walk, then crawl, the book is never open or closed. Only me moving from one to another, place or feeling

Words I write in vein are turning out the same

in the minute of a ride away, stop and block my path

Freedom sings me a sad melody

Slipping in the words of again and finding my friends

I wish I could be the carefree fool of your youth

Stars burning a hole in my lonely mind


Take you to the places that we have been but we are older

sunshine blends into red flames licking the stars

Tears falling into the rain of me crying the blues

It is no wonder that I have slipped back into the earth

for you are the wonder of my eyes and smile

Angels hold my hand as I dance between Heaven and Hell

Take this world and let it be the story I have yet to live

angels singing in my mind don’t let me be a stranded soul

Where? Are we just lost in the forever of going

I will find music in the words of life you give

I see visions of love left for me to gather like flowers

Hear me in the silence of the darkness surrounding you

Come visit for a while voices in tune with all around me

Today hope remembers faith of love and understanding

I sit in the kitchen picking out a tune on a flat top

your sleep creates a place yet for me to see

In the morning you are always inside my heart

Feeling all the lonely as I wash away, melody

Whiskey loses it taste when I play you a new song

strongly you let your life shine in my mind

Danger is all about me yet I can find not a word

From end to now I feel you leaving your heart in mine

drinking up the windows of all of my daydreams lost

My mind convinces me I must sing your song and move on

Applause!!!!

This is a sad poem but one most of us can share at one time in life...or another. Your strong words paint a visual of loss that most could never reach. You are talented my friend. Bravo on this poem.

Susan
