    Poetry

    I thought I would add a little poetry in my blog, this one I posted In the Witches Vox and at present has had 674 views, and was one of the top poems viewed.

     
    From Memories Past

    Looking out across the ocean, looking out across the sea
    Looking for your loved one, that loved one is me.
    A ship sails past the harbour and you run down to your door,
    like you have done so many times so many times before.
    But far across the ocean far across the sea in a place we fort for
    called Gallipoli.

    Hundreds of crosses that all look the same,
    Hundreds grave stones some without a name.
    In one of these do I lie, for in the fields did I die.
    I wish you were by my side, to and comforted me as I died

    You take my tarnish photo and hold it close to your heart,
    you rest back in your easy chair, remembering the day we did depart.
    Once again you quietly weep as your soul drifts off to sleep
    For that finial time,

    In the light you come to me, I hold in my arms
    I feel your spirit is so gentle, peaceful and calm
    As I look into your eyes, no more do you cry
    I hold you and kiss you I can tell you forever,
    I love you

    Loneliness

    Loneliness holds the hurt deep inside
    For my horizons dry and wide
    Like the drought that holds the land
    My life is nothing more than sand

    No water here to quench my thirst
    Empty mail box kicked and cursed
    Broken fences and broken home
    A broken man sit's all alone

    Wallet empty no way out
    Too far gone to hear you shout
    No friends to hold you close
    Remember what you treasure most

    You pray for rain as crows circle in
    Watching, waiting for you to take that sin
    To take your life and just give in
    But your will is far to great
    To much love to give to hate

    No matter how dry the future  holds
    There is someone with a heart of gold
    Waiting for someone just like you
    To hold you, cuddle you, see you through

    Just waiting for the moment to be right
    It maybe next week, next month or tonight
    Never give up on what life gives
    Take a chance and learn to live

    If

    Imagine a time before 'time'...

    When the day was not yet divided into hours, minutes and seconds...

    When time was shaped by the sun, moon and stars

    Imagine what the mind would see, how new every thing would be

    How innocent like a new born child to what's shining above glowing free.

    Imagine what man and woman would have seen,

    Upon this earth when it was so fresh and clean.

    And mystery was still abound in every story and childhoods dreams

    With faerie folk and unicorns and Dragons tails to tell.

    And wise folk could fix your ails and forest moss would grow so well

    And in the woods are herbs of every shape and kind

    For flowered essences fill the air and clear up the mind.

    Some time I think these things are not a dream, but just a forgotten realm

    And wars and greed have made us live and die in this forgotten hell

    I loved IF. To extend your "hum" reading, try a book by Evan Pritchard, a Caucasian American with Algonquin Native American blood, called THERE IS NO WORD FOR TIME. It is his own self-study of going back to his Native American culture and his view on a simpler and more genuine way of thinking and living. You'll probably have to request it at a library.
    Your thoughts are gentle and nurturing.
    I used to admit to no heroes in my life either, but as it rides to an end, I excuse all my would-be heroes for their human faults and ideosyncraZies.
    I am a ban-draoi.
