What are your thoughts
Of this moment in time
Innocence reigns momentarily
We know not of a dimming sun
A brief chapter in transcience
Under a clear sky
Fresh breath enters the nostrils
Hearts are filled with joy
Darkened clouds are held at bay
As we look upon eachother
In wonder of who we are

Reaching for that which remains elusive
A force in effect beyond twilight
One thing remains inconclusive
In vain attempts to reunite
Twinklings seem evasive
Defying all attempt
No musings of impending doom
Or presence of contempt
Expectations of reaching out
Into the mighty abyss
Making its mark in known existence
In spite of all remiss

Waiting by the window
Patience is your virtue
In silence with a sewn smile
Even in darkness
Turning the light on
Knowing what to expect
You are impervious
The enviornment reacts
Two sides are needed
For actions to take effect
Your companionship
Fools who wander aimless
In their quest
All things however are irreplaceable
That is why I love you as I do

As your hand rests within
So does a part of you
Reside within my heart
An inner voice resounds
Yet there is no movement
Your frail body succumbs
For I am here by your side
Cursing myself for not coming sooner
Hundreds of miles away
Your whisper did not reach me
I am starved much the same
Sweat pours from my brow
The taste of salt is upon my lips
My spirit is beaten down
Hunger within restless as it is
Until I rested myself at your side

In my ease, time is of no essence
Yet lost and of no concern
Into the eye of movement
There is no event seemingly gone
Objects pass by swiftly
As do people without focus
Disconnection from the world
Languages untapped heartbeats
Emotions fill the cup
Humanity concealed
With no regrets of dreams
Or the thoughts within
Life has been lived to my ends
Knowing beyond my small world
Though confined I traveled
Over many horizons
Until all that remains
My empty shell

In silence appealing to one another
Emotions eternal in time
Humbled unto each other
Joined minds on a silent journey
Others who dare to inquire
Find themselves in query
Attempting to capture the solace
Of they cannot invade
Unto the stone images created
At the stroke of the master sculptor
Who has attempted to reveal
That which cannot be given
It can only be seen by those
Grasping the true meaning
Within the silence
Likened unto bleating lambs
Who in their innocence
Trust the inner senses
To lead them into safety
Though ravenous wolves prowl
Unable to invade
Silence and confidence
Carry a heavy weight against them
Yet though they may attempt
Mere words cannot exist
The silent mind defeats chaos
Where no enemy thrives
Resistance is null
Joined minds on their journey
Out in the open for all to see
Though they may not enter
Except within their own minds

Waiting for my daughter in the town square
Off to the market we will go
It is the one joy of the week I have left
Then I'll walk to my house on the row
A few loaves of bread,maybe a fish
Then there's the faces of friends
At the end of the day when all is done
And I have made all my amends
In the silence of the walk home
Thoughts are of my son long gone
Each day he is missed
I light a candle in my window
Pretending he is still here
Sleep overcomes me
As I watch the flame dance
On the wick of the candle in my window

Hiding in shadows watching my mother
Walking to her house on the row
She is the loveliest of ladies
Her pace is steady and slow
Several years have passed by
Still in the shadows I hide
Watching over my mother
Who thinks I have long ago died
Too many heartaches were caused
For I was a foolish young man
Filled with drink and the wrong crowds
In the filth of the streets I ran
My sister had told me she saw my mother
Sitting in the kitchen in tears
Therefore in thought it confirmed things
Showing me all of my fears
Setting out to sea on a trawler
Thinking of my mother who cried
Over a fool like myself
Better off she would think I had died
Still I come to see her
Although she will never know
I am in the thick of the shadows watching
Her walk to her house on the row

Walking in the park even in the rain
Outside noises fade into the breeze
We escape from the eyes of the city
Sheltered by the boughs of the trees
On occasion a bird will flutter
Yet it will not sing out its song
Upon the blackened branch it sits
In wrought for its plight so long
There are no shelters nearby
So much for urgency when walking in rain
Brisk winds that whip about the face
Yet there is no enduring pain
Our tapping heels upon the pavement
Neat rows of benches on either side
Cultures of people who are normally present
Across the concrete divide
A darkened sun holds back its rays
Clouds shade the skies innermost desire
A whispering wind can be heard
In this place that is filled with mire

A final look before sleep comes
Once the shade is pulled
Clouds murmuring quietly
In groaning winds before the rain
Droplets upon the window
Teasing the eyesight in haze
Distant shapes over the horizon
Of things that never cease to amaze
Many times have come and gone
Upon my windowsill
Parting clouds in a tempest
Returning upon newborn winds
Each storm brings new thoughts
Before my slumber which surely comes
