Words

Actions speak louder than any word;
for words are nothing but air;
I know this sounds quite absurd;
but words never go anywhere.

They simply drift off and sail with the breeze;
randomly floating in any direction;
whether forced out, or spoken with ease;
sometimes in anger; other times, affection.

Yesterday's Gone

I had some thoughts of yesterday gone;
why are such things on my mind?
For yesterday still tries to live on;
it seems to be how it’s designed.

I was feeling sad about decisions, made;
I’d like to revisit so many;
but they seem to march by on

Wind Of My Sails

I was sailing free on my ship;
big plans; great future to be;
reality suddenly fashioned a blip;
and the future was sailing me.

The winds were pushing in one direction;
directing me to my chosen docks;

the picture you’ve elected to embrace;
upon which all others stare?

we had much we needed to learn;
though empty in knowledge and gold;

firmly pressing down on the sand;
all of life is within his reach;
responding to his command.
