Christmas Spirit
Christmas Spirit The crimson sun comes crashing downBlood red rays tumble to the ground.I see it through the scarlet glare,Christmas spirit is everywhere. I find joy in falling snowflakes,Even though my broken heart aches.Scent of pine needles in the air,Christmas spirit is everywhere.

Empty Sky
Empty Sky My witness is the empty sky,Devoid of any truth or lie.Raindrops tumble from clouds of gray…It all ends in tears anyway. Winter wallows with brutal coldAs cherished memories unfold.No matter what they do or say…It all ends in tears anyway. Behold as Christmas comes againWith scent of spruce and cinnamon.But time is cruel,Continue reading “Empty Sky”

Spirit of the Forest
Spirit of the Forest Far above the towering redwoodsWhere the lone bald eagle flies,Steely clouds conspire and gatherTo break in alabaster skies. Monsoon descends upon green woods,Crystal raindrops mingle with tears.Shadows creep within the forest,Stirring up my deepest fears. A life of suffering and sins,I hear your cry upon the winds.If only I could stopContinue reading “Spirit of the Forest”
No Closure
No Closure Your strangled voice echoed down the stairwell;Horrific words, a dagger to the heart.Like a heavy anvil, the sorrow fell…A bone crushing weight that tears one apart. Emotions scatter like leaves on the breeze;A free spirit, you reveled in your youth.Your beautiful soul riddled with disease…We struggle to accept this painful truth. No closure,Continue reading “No Closure”
