:: The Force Of Nature ::

The Natural Loss





Saw the first ray of sunlight
Sent a glimmer down the spine
The water was just right
Slithered up in a straight line

Grew tall and grew strong
An interesting beauty crafted and wrought
The only way was up and nothing could go wrong
Or so we thought

Time trickled like the odd drop from a tap
Left unnoticed it stacked up on itself
The years swelled when it seemed like an afternoon nap
It was too late to relish, it was too late to delve

What seemed like a natural loss
It was so hard to take
Build over years of love and care
But when it fell, it did like a flake

If I had the chance I would turn back the clock
To tell the seedlings there were a treasured lot
For when the time came for the leaves to drop
They dropped too soon, too soon we all forgot

:: Holding On ::

Faith



The words roll down the wire
There is just no feeling on my lip
Plain and mundane
Going through the motions
I am thinking I am letting it slip
No matter how many times I tell myself
That it will grow better
Like a balloon with a twig prick
I rise to the sky and fall back with a clatter
It hurts still; the hurt still growing
Will I see better times ahead?
I know there’s no use bellowing
Despite all the demons in the air
Fungating the air with the darkest gloom
I hold strong for I believe
I believe in faith
Faith-willing I will never leave
