Relax
lying in the sunshine
clouds cross my face
like butterflies
on my eyelashes
-----
Flashes
Carnival ghosts
spinning round in my mind
The smell of cotton candy
and laughter in the air
I wish I could back
to those carefree days
-----
Lost
A lonely ship
lost at sea.
It's not a ship,
but only me.
The sea is life
and life ain't grand
I wait for the day
when I reach land
-----
You
Sitting in the sun, listening to the breeze.
Remembering your kisses, in my life of ease.
I wish you were here with me, just within my reach.
So we could sit upon the sand, alone on the beach.
Sitting in the sun, looking at the clouds.
Remembering our son; of him you were so proud.
Those picnics to the park, mostly in the fall.
You and he playing, tossing around a ball.
Sitting in the sun, watching the waves.
Remembering our life, thinking of your grave.
Why did you leave me? Now I'm all alone.
Sitting in the sun, but I'm chilled to the bone.
