Alice Shaw

Once upon a time
You were here with me
At that time I was happy
Life had a meaning
...

...

A cry only heard at night
It’s headed, left and right
Don’t know where to go next
I think I’m caught in the nest
...

What is to happen next?
When things come to a close
And new doors open?
...

What is the point of all this?
Wandering the streets,
Wondering, what comes next?
...

At a loss for words,
No muse pushing my pen;
When all pain is gone
And happines is all around
...

Welcome, welcome to all
Who can boast to do this?
Being honest, no one can.
Most will refuse to welcome
...

Wake up to your pain,
Stand up to your call,
Open your eyes, open your soul
Smile to the world
...

Your bounds are breaking
As your bones are grinding
Wanting to be set free
Urging to see
...

Letting all go
Following the flow
The constant rushing in and out
Which stops us blowing out
...

Just wondering in the rain
Waiting for the storm
All is there in my brain
Waiting to take form
...

A blank page,
I jot down words on it,
And there you go!
You get something,
...

Just forget it,
Delete it from memory
And don’t think about it
It’s not possible
...

Some people say love is easy
But do they know what love is?
I do, and it’s dark
It’s a tunnel
...

I loved you,
I missed you
You hurt me,
You dumped me
...

Life is full of many things
It’s full of ups and downs.
Different people live different experiences.
Events happen all the way through life.
...

The world changes,
Some things don’t
People change and grow apart
We knew this,
...

A series of words
Makes a sentence
-Sometimes-
a series of sentences
...

In a life,
We make mistakes,
We progress,
We change a lot,
...

We were friends,
It was great
We were lovers,
It was fun
...
