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

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

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
