I want time to stand still
At the early morning light
Filtering through the leaves
Magically they look they are lit inside
The green and the gold shining bright

The Day Begins
The day begins I look forward to it
To finish the things that need to be done
But I read, and paint
And before long
The day comes to an end
I lag behind on things
I had planned from A to Z(d)
Oh where did the day go by
And why are the hours so short
They are gone
Before I could start
(Sheen-Nov2018)
Whispers in my Heart
Images form, and shadows lurk
Crowding my mind to my dismay
Coherent thoughts pushed aside
Blurred images come into play
Should I ignore the whispers now loud
Drumming my head into disarray
(Sheen-Aug 2018)
Identical
I don’t want to see you
The smile is not there
Replaced with worry lines
You look defeated
With shoulders sagging at times
I don’t want to see you
My identical image in the mirror
It’s best I forget you
Or I’ll deem myself a failure
(Sheen-March2018)

Mystery
…
Life is a mystery from cradle to grave
What lies ahead you never know
Life in the womb, then life outside
Step by step it unfolds you know
Some on the right path, some on the wrong
Life follows an unknown ebb, and flow
Getting through it is a struggle alright
But life is a gift on us bestow

Superficial
…
With superficial charm he did me woo
Fell for it without any clue
What struck me I never knew
My eyes opened after the issue
To save myself I couldn’t undo

Fashionable
When do you want me to come
What do you want me to wear
My clothes are no longer fashionable
As I have grown older, I no longer care
What to wear is not my priority
I’m comfortable in my old wear
They are not prickly, not so new
But soft against my skin I never knew
The colors are faded, and light on the eyes
And what I wear not everyone likes

Mighty
.
Thinking of the woods that run so deep
Have to pass through them
To reach safety
Taking a breath, I pause briefly
Is it safe to go ahead
Or make a return weary
Those by my side are no longer there
Standing alone they have vanished leaving me
Have to cross through the woods that run so deep
There is no turning back for me
Please give me the courage
God Almighty

Here is to a glorious day
The sun is out spreading its’ rays
Moon, a thin arc fading away
Birds are singing
A joyful sound
Welcome to another day
