Original image by JusTee The bits of the day lay waste to disaster-may the devils not hear us now. We tip the toe, and grimace at the leaf, as even autumn sparks a challenge. A change in direction for hoped protection, or least delay the inevitable… For no knowledge or effort can change a path, …

Finding Merry
Finding Merry by JusTee To give a liftIn cheek or timeMaybe a tokenOr a bump in line…Yes to show loveWithout someone you knowGiving to giveChanging one’s low…Bringing warmthOn a frigid nightMaking the effortTo provide some light…Lifting a weightEven when you might breakTaking the momentBefore being too late…Yes this is ChristmasBefore a Happy New Year-While one …
Purpose
For the night I sleptWas the only criedAs I lay in peace-Only death by my side…And when it cameLike a bird it passedFor it was not meMy life would last…I thought for a momentThe luck on my sideUntil I found who was takenThe pain to confide…I would have goneMy tears had saidI was not afraidOr …
Once Was
Silence is deafeningWhen it’s only at the end-For its the companion of lonelyOr a loss to pretend… The frost at the doorKnocks life once there-Leaves were in the treesAnd fights were fair… There was crazyWith a beautiful twist-It wasn’t in memoriesBut the life we lived… There is a lossOn the inside of this-Just like deathOnce …
Finding Focus
A time cameBefore it passedOf what beganUntil the last- And through the fightsAnd even yearsLaid the feelingsBuilt with tears- No more the rightOr even wrongBuilt the curvesTo a road so long- But a weakened soulHurts the pathTo what is hereOr what was had. So the mapLacking compassFinds an answerAfter finding focus.
One Last Time
Begging for secondsOf minutes lostWithout a memoryBut balanced cost-And in the battleLose the warTo remember hopeOr what was before-11:11Has always beenWhen I say helloAnd feel again-Just that momentWhere peace is mineWhere I can sigh reliefOne last time.
Missing Y
The explanation was missingBut when is it not?Seeking that guidanceOr the why…Being lost requires a plan.It has to!Knowing where you are going-Until something changes everything…Now direction is the myth.The sound of each stepYou remember it well.Yes, the quickened heart beatBrings panic in the dark….All from needing more?!!!Not different!But the reason disappeared…Words made lips moveSo lost …
Confinement
This is where I workThis is where I liveOnly to serveAnd give, give, give. I could curseAnd even cryWhile curious facesAngrily wonder why And while it was always thereAnyway I breakFor this is bestowedMy soul in wake For even aliveAll is deadNo matter the forgivenessOr what to beg For in the momentWhen finally yoursYou weren’t …
Need
I found a shoelaceMissing a purpose-And a mouseWho didn’t respond to cheese-Thus explaining a clockWhose minutes have no need.
Forever forgotten
Light of day never faltersOr hangs in the balanceOf hatred or romanceBut what was…And the slip of the decayIs of consequenceNot of usBut what may.So to marchAnd live onLike the poetUntil it’s gone.
