A lost feeling

Eyes closed, just for a moment

it feels like slipping into the past

time-traveling in my living room

Advert my eyes from what is

and float back into that feeling

where optimism & hope live

The silence is beautiful, I miss it

every time I find it & I remember

the feeling of being alone & happy

Submerged in a pool of reminiscing

thoughts tend bubble to the surface 

memories of self bursting in the air

"The maze"

FreeDigitalPhotos.net

We wander through the hall
Time is no friend to us,
                           not at all
Bumped and bruised
We feel broken
                           and used
Twisted and torn
There is no hope for us
                           from the day we were born
Life us a tumultuous maze
We were dumped there
                           until the end of days
Our anger is burning,
                  our mind is caught a blaze
We scream and cry out
                  for our freedom we mourn
Spun in circles,
                  we are distant and confused
Distraught and alone
                  since our debilitating fall

"Bird"

A bird sits on an empty hand - waiting
Fluffing her wings - wondering
Calling out with a sweet song - worried
"Will he ever notice that I am a gift,
       to be loved, 
       cared for, and
       appreciated?"

"Bells"

Sweet bells ring.
Singing the song
  of a long lost memory.
Sing sweet bells, sing.
