Cross the Horizon

Sitting on a golden beach,

Watching the sun cross the horizon,

A sun is climbing,

The start of a new day,

Looking back on the footprints,

The trail of the past,

Looking at the sand un-walked on,

That will be the way,

To walk on that beach,

A new day to explore,

That venture new,

A direction to follow,

To lead to tomorrow,

A day to reflect on that day,

The day of yesterday that led to today,

That Day is Past

Dry your eyes,

No need to cry,

That day is in the past,

That rainbow now,

A sign,

Of better days head,

So feel the glow,

That warmth you know,

From a golden ray,

That will make our day,

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,
