Some just can’t stay
It’s a lesson learned
Likely as a child
For me it was
Spike a roughhousing cat
Why he had to
Go I’ll never know
And throughout my life
Others followed him to
Where I’ll never know
But as I age
I do know this
That wherever they have
Gone that I will
Too one day follow
I write to understand
Thoughts have no form
They swirl and spin
Dodge coalesce and dissolve
Words are my landfall
Where sirens and storms
Come to a stop
When after I read
Now it makes sense
I can breathe again
I’m going to be
Quiet peaceful and calm
Said the water to
The sea I’ve done
As you have asked
And touched the land
I don’t like it
It’s hard and cold
Always in the way
And life runs away
From me home I’m
Wishing to go where
At least I’m free
I do understand Autumn
I don’t understand Fall
I enjoy the colors
But not their result
I love the hope
But never the despair
I await the invitation
But then not always
Why does love too
Seem to always be
A double edged sword
Cutting in all directions
Once making its mark
The other its scar
I don’t know who
You are but only
Where you are and
Knowing that allows me
To kinda know you
Just a little bit
Know this I see
When you read me
And know this too
Even though we don’t
Know each other you
Know a very very
Special part of me
So whomever you are
In this big world
You are my friend
