"Quiet Reflections"


Closely knit together
or torn and left alone,
the essence of the difference
chills me to the bone.

Sounds of silence deafen me
my empty heart does cry
in silent meditation
as I wonder why

Words of friends give solace
to an aching heart
Time I spend alone just now
gives passion to my art

Words flow from my fingertips
as furrows cross my brow
Ages past and memories
Overwhelm my "now"

They overtake the present
and shade the future grimly
Casting a long shadow
so I do see, but dimly.

Words enchanting grace my page
as I ponder life
balanced in its many joys
by my pain and strife.

New days are made each morning
sometimes bright or dark
When every canvas is erased
and awaits your mark
