A Shadow of The Night

To stand and watch the sun go down,

A shrinking shadow on the land,

A shadow disappearing to be no more,

Hidden in the darkness of the night,

A ghost hidden out of sight,

Invisible to the naked eye,

That is a shadow of the night,

To a Pasture New

To listen to the whispering words,

Muttered quietly barely heard,

Loud enough to be understood,

A tear drop an answer in reply,

Silence,

As one signals goodbye,

End of chapter,

With the closing of a door,

A choice is made,

To be single once more,

A walk alone,

To a pasture new,

Cards Were Dealt

A pack of cards,

Shuffled well,

A dealer casts a spell,

The cards are dealt,

From the pack,

A lucky hand,

Who can tell,

It all depends,

On how the cards,

How they fell,

Time to Leave

She sat drinking coffee,

He sat sipping a tea,

The room was silent,

As words did not come easily,

Clock watching came easily,

As did the last sip of tea,

A chair moved gracefully,

As it was time to leave,

Blossom

Memories of  yesterday,

Lost along the way,

The past of long ago,

Falling from the tree,

Cherry blossom of the tree,

April fall to the floor,

Counting petals as they drift,

Carried on the breeze,

Far away,

A scent of the blossom,

fills the air,

Until the blossom is gone,

And the tree lays bare,

To Light a Beacon

A penny for your thought's,

The voice said within the dream,

In another dimension,

Time meant nothing,

A gypsy King on top of the world,

Looking down from the crown,

The mountain was hard to climb,

Blood and tears,

With sacrifices along the way,

The glory was to reach the top,

Determination helped him not to stop,

Self reward to light a beacon,

A sign that a man had gained his freedom...... 

 

Shadows in the Dark

Those shadows in the dark,

Ghosts of the past,

Come alive in the heat of the dreams,

What has been and gone,

Emerges again,

Deep within a sleep,

That aroma of scent,

That favourite tune,

Find's us dancing in the wind,

Footprints left in the sand,

Where we had been,

A dance of two lovers,

As the message is read,

To stir from the sleep,

As the footprints disappear,

Claimed by a rising tide,

As the ghosts go back to the past,

Again,
