What Crosses My Mind

  • Curiosity

    Matter that lives suspended, and sways side to side, only a breeze permits. It captures a sound, plays a little melody that a passerby might appreciate or express.  I have this imagination, lets the song have a life. I’ll sit sometimes with coffee, bathing in her relaxing tone, and find that peace of mind. The…

  • Tomorrow’s Another Day

    If I could go back, I think about all the things I wish I could redo again. The one that comes up first is high school and my studies. I was a bright guy, but a lousy student. My outcome in high school is what motivated me to become a teacher in the first place.…

  • Lost In Love Together

    We would walk togetherMaybe holding hands,Or just side by sideIn our own thoughts,We would share together.Sometimes there is an envyWhen a couple strolls byEnjoying a sunsetWalking together.A certain sadnessComes with age whenWe measure out the years,Alone or together.I wonder about her,If she has a walkingPartner to share her lifeTo feel an autumn together.I guess I’ll…

  • Once In A Visit

    We watched the snow together frost paned windows, I could feel your presence, you told me you wanted more. I hadn’t ever told you before, I was afraid I might lose you, in the balance of a life, we always make decisions, impact a lifetime. I had to be sure, just wanted to know. If…

  • If We Could Change

    What would we be if we stayed the same, if our lives didn’t change, we would certainly wonder what might be different what may lay ahead that we would be leaving to challenge. Yet do you ever embrace what could be a lovely outcome? What is the looking glass across the room seeing, will you…

    When stepping off With nowhere to land We settled anywhere A quiet place A quiet time The silence surrounding me Felt peaceful, unafraid I wandered further And the world around me began to Unravel Just this once I felt no emotion Only a moment Inside my composure Did I step outside My comfort zone Only…

  • One Day In Time

    I thought about this quite some time a discrepancy a moment sublime. I thought about one day I made up my mind. I thought about love I seemed to glance above, only to find, I was losing my mind. Some choices were meant to be blind. I was meant to survive to find solace in…

  • A Sunny Day

    Rays of light peek through shuttered windows shall the slats be opened or assure privacy, a morning of which one surely glows the energy blocked would be a travesty. ~ At my desk I look for inspiration seems the night put aside for the moment is more solution to dredging horrors inside. ~ If present…

  • Common Fears

    I have fears, they are frequent I have moments I wish I could cry I have fears, and they are frequent Wonder how many years, will I sigh ~ Wonder how many years, will I try ~ I can’t stand to storm the thinking When I weep I still feel connected Times like this I…

  • If She Knew

    There in the wind lays definition, she called them changing winds. If we could recreate days of passion perhaps then love properly gleaned. ~ Yet days and hours of time forgotten, though symbolic reminders lay about we could in simple terms relive again. Beauty in circumstance beyond doubt. ~ Oh follow me on this our…
