I find writing about life experiences helps put things into perspective
As I walk through the dancing leaves on the cold deserted street
I feel the crunches under my feet
In a flash my childhood springs to mind
I look ahead, to the side and behind
...
Thirty-six or so years ago, our paths collided,
And in that moment, my heart was decided.
I saw your smile, and I knew right then,
You were the one I'd love, my forever.
...
As autumn's palette starts to unfold,
Golden hues and crimson leaves take hold.
The sky is set aflame with pink and orange bright,
A cool crispness stirs, and day succumbs to night.
...
My world was shattered, torn apart
All thats left is a broken heart
Nobody seems to understand my pain
This isn't living, it's a constant strain
...
Saying goodbye to the past
The ghosts that haunt me night and day
It's taken a decade to get here
But I'm finally ready to blow the cobwebs away
...
