The Ocean
The crash of the waves
Upon the rocky shore
The calling of the gulls
From the cliff overlooking
The shore.
Salty smell in the air
Silence broken only
by the waves and calls.
Quietly I sit
In peaceful relaxation
Upon a beach of the ocean.
Death
Why have you cheated me?
A true believer in you.
My fear was strong,
Did I even belong,
In this place at all?
The cool moist ground beckons my return
To that fearful place
Why then do I turn,
Away from your sad embrace?
The Couple
Silently the couple sat
Resting from their busy job.
They look about
The outdoor scene,
Seeing people, cars, and things.
Then their rest over and done
They take to the air as one.
Roses
The color of a rose can mean different things
From "I love you" to "I care"
And true love we can share
Peace and innocence
Gratitude and appreaciation
Friendship and confesion
Of true feelings
They mean many things
And help show true feelings
Night
As the day slows turns into night
The shadows creep away from the lights
That go on as the sun disappears
Slowly over the horizon bringing new fears
The creatures of the night which hide from day's light
Begin to come out of their daylight shadows
The bats and the owls
Rats snakes and mice
Come out in the protection of the dark
And leave without a trace in the morning
Not a sound or a mark
Is left for the day to see
And up in my room
I watch again as the night returns
beneath the shining moonlight and gentle star glow
I watch all the shadows of things I don't know
