Sorrow

The halls were empty as you left,

the bleachers all abandoned,

but for one wailing cry,

your Mother in dreaded agony.

His passion all deceived,

his hopes all smashed,

his walking stick broken in two,

the dwelling tough without you.

They strive to get you back,

but they know they never will,

a missing puzzle piece,

an open cavity

always to remain incomplete.

The pain in their hearts,

the tears in their eyes,

a snow torn oak tree,

In demise!

Scents of Life

What if the sky had been red?
Would we have all been in dread?
What if we could fly?
Would we then have been able to touch the sky?

What if there was no such thing as air?
Would men and women be rare?
What if there was no water? Then would we be slimmer and not fatter?

What if there was no such thing as fire?
And, how would we keep ourselves warm?
Would we have been drier?
And, would it prevent us from any harm?

What if there was no land?
How would we stand?
How would we retrieve?
How would we live?

What if dogs could talk?
Then, would they take us for a walk?
What if there were no schools?
Then, I guess, we would all be fools.
