Haiku

ever so subtly
tall, thin, graceful branches bend
        she brushes her hair 

  perpetually
linear travel of light speed
    the train whistle blows 

 Georgia’s blossoms sweet
blooming cotton candy pink
glorify Macon 

 "Do you like butter"
He placed the petals beneath her chin
smiled at the reflection from the chalice of gold 

When we open our eyes, we don't always see
Things that are clearly where they ought to be;
When we listen to sounds as we go through our day
Do we truly hear what others around us may say?

Eyes open wide, yet we are blind to the truth
Ears that can hear, yet so many sounds we just mute.

 fewer when talking jelly beans lesser when talking mathematician fewer is lesser, lesser is few to fewer folk feeling lesser confused need fewer folk to lessen the load lesser is greater when fewer are told.  

We celebrate a birthday
get older every year
do we remember
or does time just disappear
As we get older
many thoughts come our way
hope to see our children
have their own child one day
then you see the grandkids
and oh, you truly know
why being a parent
had so much more to show
but as you watch them get older
each year from their birth
you realize there is an ending
of your time on earth
so make each moment special
not just on a holiday
let them know you love them
with everything you do and say. 

Times passes by
Morning lullaby
Sounds of spring
Colors so bright
As each day turns from the night...

A child is born
A new day is dawn
Sounds of silence
Colors of joy
As each day a new girl or boy...

Another generation
Left to the young
Sounds of mourn
Colors so dim
As each remembers them...

Time passes by
Nightime lullaby
Sounds of joy
Colors so bright
As each day turns again to night.

Past holds our memories
Future holds our dreams
For today give it what you can
Life is shorter than it seems.
Look back and remember
Do not sit there and dwell
Hold onto precious memories
And stories to someday tell

Do not let yesterday
Take away your tomorrow
Look forward with hope
Let go of all the sorrow
Past is filled with memories
The future is ours to see
Live your life for today
Let your heart hold your key.

Innocence taken at birth

Redemption comes with a price

A child with no pure memory

The burden carried for life

A purse of ones hopes

Shattered

Broken Silence

Awakened by the truth.
