The Unseen

Fog and mist enshroud the stars
The lights that illuminate my way

Before, I found it beautiful
Swirling tapestries dancing in the darkness

But now, they are cold, wet obstacles
As quicksand placed between my heart and goal

Formless, yet made of steel
Shapeless, yet aching reminders

When sleep comes, the apparition fades
The sun shines brightly, and she I love

Is with me, at my side, and I remember
The smile, the joy, the happy heart

Now gone, and God knows where
And daybreak brings return of bitter things

I do not wish this.

I wonder, how can man turn back a clock
To when such sadness dared not show its face

Knowing I cannot, I must move on
The fog’s cool touch reminds me

That someday, my wish will come true
If I but wait … and wait … and wait.

There you are. LOL.

I like it! Sad but there is a sweetness to it too.

Thank you so much for sharing it with us. :)

Riding Horses

Riding Horses

I do not dare

such mighty

animals full

of power do scare

I love to look at them

with awe and often

wish I had the gall

to climb

on ones back

sit very tall

and 

ride the winds above

the noise

to sit there

very poised

and show

nay, I'm not

afraid of

you at all.
