Come walk with me in the garden of life

So my child we walk past the dream in a garden left cold from those who walked before us. Eyes reaching for hope in a sky filled with love and lies played carefully, take a look


From a spot kept warm by silly pride, father a step a head mother already gone; you look over your shoulder to see children laughing at your worries and pace.


 


I took one last look


Did not like what I have become


Sun overhead


Watching dead


Dreams rolling past


Fingers to keys


The writers in me


A gift used little


A curious sound


Creativity controlled


Sold for a dollar once


Now a price for face


I write what I want


Found comes in words


And life and love dance


As the keys for me


Fill the void of


Work gone to some


one else writing


For dollars spare


 


I walk in shadows as I write for love and friends


Some die, some just need a laugh, me I need purpose


In night winds I find all in over cast skies with heavy hang over


Lead laden dreams smiling with me in stories shared love taken
