Trees Of Life

Trees Of Life

I feel very much like a Sycamore tree;
enduring the winds of Autumn;
planted where God chose me to be;
most of my leaves have fallen.

When Death Has Died

When Death Has Died

What happened, my love;
where have you gone;

Escaping Destiny

Every life was created for a specific reason;

The Unkindest Cut Of All

The Unkindest Cut Of All

What is it that brings thoughts to a boil;

what feels like a stab; from sabre or foil;

threatening that evil succeeds;
