Carolyn Brunelle Poems

Darkness resides in each of us
and the light is in there too
you choose the one to follow
neither path will be easy to do.
...

Who are you to bend and break her
rule another sentient state;
deem her one true purpose in life
be at the mercy of what you dictate?
...

You can put a stop to it
if only for a day;
speak to any darkness
and make it go away.
...

August days, nature's rhythm
in a dance with the trees;
one that leaves a blush of color
in each cool afternoon breeze.
...

From the barrenness of winter;
wakened in all their glorious color
the flowers return.
In one of nature's greatest validations,
...

A time of sorrow
she would suffer on her own;
so obedient, so small
she became invisible.
...

You feel as if
a piece of your soul
breaks and falls away;
a part of your past too
...

Time has not been kind
with the choices made
in her youth;
the unbridled excesses
...

I can feel something else in the room
in a movement, a changing shadow
some kind of blur; it's a hint of
something or someone not me.
...

It's simply incredulous
in this age of 'instant' connection,
people still fail to express gratitude
or even a modicum of appreciation.
...
