Hidden

Sometimes -
life takes you by the hand...
and leads you to places
you will never understand...

holding tight
as the ship glides full speed...
letting go
as the wind guides your feet,,,

What will happen now?
What will be perceived?
What will come and go?
What will be freed?

Living in
a chaotic war -
No one is sure
what anything is meant for...

as they spy
their eyes upon your door -
it is all temporary
and that is for sure.

Ice

The cold blows through

and knocks me into -

while all of these memories

sometimes leave me blue...

Like the wintery mix

that waters my eyes -

and the clouded thoughts

I've learned to despise...

I took a long walk

in the icy winter rain -

to chill all the thoughts

and freeze all the pain...

So much has come

and so much has gone -

the only choice left

is to learn to move on...

I have to let go

of all that is frozen -

and leave it in my memory

for the life I have chosen.
