Children of Winter

Begin anew
Dawn has come
The Sun shining brightly
Birds flitting between branches
Chirps filling the air in the slight chill
Do you feel yourself ready
to begin again in good
faith that indeed we
can change we
can take hold
of the reins
once more

pendulum

I am waiting for the right time
I always believe it to be near
then find something to dissuade me
Back and forth
Back and forth
A pendulum swinging in my mind
So I watch and wait
for the right time
Is this pure folly
Some might say
to wait for the right time
is to wait forever
Where will action
take me
Far from here
or so I think
or so I think

Adulthood

Dream your life into being
Simplicity of thought
Action left to the movement of body
Ambition both impetus and limiter
Dual-hearted chest beating steady
May long these lungs expand and contract
Found you buried in subconscious places
You asked where I had been
Nothing could be said
Marveled at your form before me
Watched your lips move
Though I could find no words
A simple life would be fine
If we were both there
If we could cease
These dreams
Life doesn't always work
The way we believe it should
That is for the best
We sit apart by our own choices
This is fine
I still dream
Time to time

My imaginary life

and my real life

long to be together.
