Howard Michael Bricker

She talked to the angels in the sky
I could not see them, I know not why.
An innocent girl, left to die
Surviving broken promises, fighting for life
...

We were in love.
It was summer and the world was ours.
We wrapped blankets around us on an isolated beach.
We wrapped our lives into each other for life
...

So much like sunrise
Sunrise, sunset
Love like the sun will never really set
An eternal loving glow
...

I was young
looking at faceless women
without remorse
blurred, nameless ladies
...

Day after day, year after year,
the sands of time sifted through her hands
whenever and wherever she looked
finding only lonliness,
...

I was young
the world seemed bright, beautiful, and free.
I lived in timeless moments,
watching my troubles flow out to the sea
...

What appears may not be what exists
We each look out of the window of life with different eyes
We believe that we see water on a long lonely road
When there is none.
...

As we weave the course of our lives, we begin to strive for what we want most.
Is it wealth, fame, or security?
What is behind every goal is our quest for happiness.
Thus we begin our search down the pathways of life.
...

It was a day to remember
I swam with a mermaid during the day
Only an angel could glow with such radiance
I danced with an angel at night
...

Another day, another year.
And we rejoice without a tear
We have it all.
We have our love, we have a ball.
...
