Sometimes I just want to disappear;
evaporate into the background;
my feelings brought about by fear;
my low self esteem, surround.
I am invisible as I go down the street;
while in a crowd, I’m a ghost;
people, assembled; where friends meet;
like a big party, without a host.
Creation takes place within the mind;
it is where eternity resides;
it’s also where reality’s defined;
and where all the evil hides.
Infinity; in God’s mind, conceived;
held in the palm of his hand;
all of creation, by Love, deceived;
for, that was the Master’s demand.
I fast forwarded my life years ahead;
thinking what the future might hold;
past the time that I’d become dead;
seeing new tomorrows unfold.
Highways and byways; much the same;
new faces everywhere I would look;
many people bore their relative’s name;
yet, their lives had begun a
What if life were a vacant lot;
no grasses or trees abound;

they consider it not worth their trouble;
mulling thoughts, after much deliberation;
so many issues, can often befuddle.

most of these issues will never be gone;
and as we’re leaving, we turn back to say:

a meadow of sheer delight.
The sun nearly blinds the eyes;
to announce a brand new day;
a moon and stars light the skies;
to help us find our way.
Beauty, around us
