The Journey’s End

 old and new, I’m here waiting for you

over the hills and under the sun

waiting for you as life has begun

waiting for you as long as we’ll be

waiting for you as you waited for me


again we go together my friend

through these woods as deep as our sorrows

we’ll travel this way into each day

through mountains and glens til tomorrow


gilded and golden, sapling in green

dusty and dark, light with a spark

colors abound throughout our journey

filling our hearts at all we’ve seen

making us age at every stage


we’ve dreamed all of life's majesty

in the oceans and ponds and what lies beyond

footsteps echoing on the hard ground

voices fading out til they have no sound


we arrive here where we started before

each of us the same yet now we've changed

one of us lives and cries and cries

the other lies down in this cold ground

and closes her eyes


dusty and dark, light with a spark

we’ll travel this way into each day

through mountains and glens til tomorrow

The Fourth Riddle

  The Fourth Riddle I’m a whisper on the wind A thought held deep within Imprinted on your bones I won’t ever let you go I know your name I don’t forget anything By design, I hide The truth from sight Hush, shush Don’t rush They don’t know yet Try to keep me quiet Be silent They might buy it I’m embedded in your mind Entrenched inside How do you sleep each night? Worried they’re nearby This train is a one way trip But did you want a ticket? Oh, you can’t get off Until the end of the line Hush, shush Don’t rush They don’t know yet Try to keep me quiet Be silent They might buy it Hush, shush Don’t rush They don’t know yet Try to keep me quiet Be silent You can still deny it You are a prisoner of mine A prisoner in your mind I won’t ever let you go I control everything I’ll follow you to the grave Shhh Don’t talk

Moonlight Kite

I run with the kite in the field All the stars shining brightly The clear, moon-filled sky's expanse stretches wide String trailing behind me The kite lifts as I tug and pull A sharp jerk, I don't let it go Now, it's soaring high I let out more cord as it sails Above the ground, a sky ship Colorful in day, by night delicate Muted greys swerve and dip Yellow tails flutter from the bow As I slowly release more rope How far can it fly? Morning star on the horizon Near where the sun will be rising Dawn will soon arrive I remove small silver scissors Which glint in the twilight Setting the spool of coil onto the ground I look at the kite Kneeling down on my knees I snip the rope and release "Lord, send my prayers to him please" The kite, now free, rushes away My letter tied up with it sways With all of my hopes Every single word I could say I lay my head down on cool grass To find peace at last
