Pondering My Past

The stars above are shinning bright
On this cool collected night
The bullfrog hums in the grass
As I think of the year past
The fish are jumping down below
Putting on a little show
The waves are silent on the rocks
The sun has shrunk beneath the shore
Your touch is evident in the breeze
While I sit and cry here on my knees
It was one simple mistake
That brought me where I am today
Now there is nothing to do but think
And wonder if my world will shrink
'Cause missing you is so hard
'Cause missing you is so hard

Susan Lynn

When I watch you
head held high with the confidence
of a lion
or
When I watch you
in your state of mind
that fixes all problems
no matter what size
I say
When I watch you
I notice the pain
that you suffer through
and try not to show
I see you
through your shield
I see you

Simile

What did we feel within our hearts
when we found that we are like the wind
which dances in the trees
with silent sound
with gentle touch
with slight chill
with movement that weaves through the Earth
in whose existance there is no knowledge
