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;
suddenly, due to reality’s correction;
my sails took me towards the rocks.

The Aura

An energy source surrounds you;
and tho it, you can’t see;
even though it confounds you;
there’s another around me.

The Aura is the energy presence;
that forms the body you’re in;
energy exuding luminescence.
It’s your body’s energy twin.

Most of us can’t

I Am

I am the general of my life;
the writer of my sonnet;
I open the pages of my book;
and write my life upon it.

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

It’s a constant picture of who you are;
you never leave it behind.
From it you’re known, wide and far;
for it

Growing Young

We started our new lives as very old;
we had much we needed to learn;
though empty in knowledge and gold;
youth actually gave energy to burn.

We started this life with new identity;
with knowledge wherever we’d turn;
within us we had a natural affinity;
and a childlike

Weigh Anchors

When the sailing ship keeps drifting around;
it requires something to keep it steady;
it needs an anchor to keep it bound;
till, for sailing, the crew makes it ready.

I feel very much like that ship at sea;
my anchor was lost to attrition;
floating aimlessly around, is me;

Today Is Forever

Today will last beyond forever;
a day that time stood still;
a perfect day for all endeavor;
what was; becoming what will.

Yesterday is never to be gone;
it will all return, someday;
actors from then will live on;
for the past must never decay.

The future, too; will be
