Importance

Looking through times at the things which wait.

Importance   -   25 Sep 19

Thoughts of a thousand years
Compressed into seconds
To allow the thoughts
Of relative importance
To struggle to the surface
Haunted again
By the sea of
The unwanted memories
Once cast into forgetfulness
Demanding to be seen again

.
How many times do things which you hoped were gone, unexpectedly emerge again?

.

Said

.
A slightly disturbing question, who or what is the being?

.
Said   - 24 Sep 19

Strange words scratched
Across the minds
Of the watchers
Meanings which elude
Understanding
The being with claws
Said
Watch and learn
If you dare

.
Will we ever find out?

.

Summer Rose

.
Shifting into Autumn.

.
Summer Rose   -   23 Sep 19

The last petals of the
Summer rose
Drift across the lawn
Blown by the wind
Into the lake of Autumn
A gentle rain
Washes the petals
Leaving phantom hues
Across the lake
Last memory of Summer

.
It is the rose which acts as the waymarker.

.

In The Words

.
What is in the tale of Winter?

.
In The Words   -   22 Sep 19

Drifting in a chill wind
Forgetting the destination
Enshrined in the words
Of Winter's tale
Shouted whispers
Surrounding the thoughts
With unknown words
Containing dark secrets

.
Dark secrets.

.

Seventeen [Haiku]

.
Because I felt the need.

.
Seventeen [Haiku]   -   21 Sep 19

The special word count
Images burn in my mind
Forming in new words

.
Syllables not words but you know what I mean.

.

In The Wind

.
Love songs with a slightly surreal background.

.
In The Wind   -   20 Sep 19

I listen to the words
Hanging from the rainbow
Windchimes
Speak to me
Sing the Love songs
You gave me
In the night
As I listen to you
In the wind

.
Always a pleasure to listen.

.

Night Thoughts

.
Always aware of the things around me in the night.

.
Night Thoughts   -   19 Sep 19

Shadows surround me
Creating a nest
For my dreams
And my night thoughts
As I wait for the dawn
Oncoming dawn
Still held within
My night thoughts

.
The thoughts are always present.

Those Days

.
The dreams are fading.

.
Those Days   -   18 Sep 19

I sit wondering
How long those days
Will last
Before the false dreams
Shatter into a myriad
Crystalline pieces
Ice in the morning
Fading into
Tarnished memories

.
The false dreams sometimes last too long.

.

Flower Dreaming

.
A request at night.

.
Flower Dreaming   -   17 Sep 19

In the eternal night
I ask one thing
Of you
Dream of me

A dreaming flower
Carries my wish
To you
Dream of me

.
For the one special person.

.

Moments In Infinity

.
The journey of eternity.

.
Moments In Infinity   -   16 Sep 19

The light of a thousand years
Just a first step
On an even longer journey
Through the shadows
Wrapped in the afternoon
Sunshine dreams
Looking for an answer
In the moments in infinity
I close my eyes and
Take the next step

.
A journey willingly undertaken.
