Lightning Strikes
When I was young; I lived in the present;
ignoring the future or past;
an Autumn breeze; it all seemed so pleasant;
I thought it, always, would last.
And yet, even then; reality interrupted;
lightning would strike; unexpected;
my peace, disturbed; destiny corrupted;
barriers to my future, erected.
Grip Of Addiction
We’re all adrift upon life’s raging seas;
constantly tossed, hither and yon;
frequently driven down to our knees;
begging that all trials be gone.
Frequently challenged to our very limit;
while seeking another way out;
seas keep tossing, and we are within it;
and that’
Reaping The Whirlwind
I have very little to say today;
thoughts no longer flow free;
cowardly censors; having their way;
it’s truth; they fear we’ll see.

The Ferris Wheel
There’s a most spectacular carnival ride;
an enormous wheel; turned on its end;
carrying passengers, on seating, inside;

they’re given a view of a world below;
it’s a most memorable, spectacular sight;
Growing Old
What takes place; as we grow old;
allowing the body to age?
To many, a bill of nonsense, was sold:
“the old could no longer engage.”
Most expect wisdom to come with years;
but, that isn’t always how it’s to be;
I endured many trials; shed
