I Walk Alone

My friends are my joy
But here I walk alone
Wanting to find a smile
I find myself apart
These people are my life
Yet still here am I alone
Looking to fit back in
I see myself pushed out

My Rock

The memories of that grand rock are
Some of the fondest thoughts I know
It has done such good for me so far
Though sadly I was forced to go

Yes just for a small bit of time
But I hate that I've been away
Could I still so easily climb?
Or does my beautiful rock now sway?

It was left standing tall in that river
With water that could wear it down
This rock was my life's beauty-giver
Had I abandoned it to drown?

Do not fear what is to come

Do not fear what is to come
Worrying will not prevent it
So brace yourself instead
You may come out dented

But repairs can still be made
Fixing you can't be too hard
With a bit of work and effort
Maybe you'll be fully cured

A Dark Day

Today is a very dark day
No sun to warm
No light to shine

The rain pours heavily
And wind rages
As floods rise

Today is a very dark day
But there isn't a cloud in the sky

So why not write?

I've got nothing better to do,
So why not write?
It's done me such good before,
Scared away fright,
Fought my way out of so much,
Wiped some sad tears,
Put a comforting hand on my back,
Conquered my fears.
So now's a time as good as any,
Might as well write.
Poetry will always take care of me
Every single night.

What a Lovely Day

What a lovely day
Filled with freedom and friendship
I've got smiles to spare

I anticipated for days ahead
Without even a hint of dread
How we could spend our day
The time had to laugh and play

I woke up so giddy with a smile
Knowing where I'd be in a while
Hating just the wait before I arrived
For of my friends I'd been deprived

A short drive away
All that had kept us apart
Now was behind me

The reunion was so very grand
A thing better than I could've planned
Hours passed in just an instant
As I laid with my life's constant

Soon we all left that we might eat
And as if the day wasn't already sweet
We came upon another friendly face
I felt I was truly in my place

I've got smiles to spare
After that most wondrous time
What a lovely day

A Moment of Beauty

It was a moment of beauty
Time was nonexistent
The feeling was overwhelming
As purity settled down
The soul separated from the body
Immersed in the experience
Eventually they joined again
And found one to be left hurt
