Like a leaf that falls so are the works of man They start they grow they blossom and mature Then they fall… Everything we do comes to an end Someday it will all fade away Sometimes it seems nothing really matters Only […]
Beautiful Killer
A pretty purple flower – so deceivingly beautiful Thin green leaves intertwined—a crush of death Below the soil surface parasitic roots Grasping, clutching, sucking the nutrients—and life The leaves of its host – grain for daily food Yellowing, sapped of strength Meant to feed a family That may now go […]
A Rock in the Road
The path of life seemed straight Then suddenly A curve. A bump. A dip. A challenge A rock… Or is it a boulder? An opportunity to learn. A test of character Something to make me appreciate the flat spots in the road Confusion. Disillusion. Resentment. Disappointment. Trials. Troubles Why is […]
