Yet I Stride






















Yet I Stride

Yet I stride through dark, light-less days,
striving forward toward forgotten ways.
Wisdom searched for, seldom found,
frozen clockwork, springs unwound.
Chime-less wind chimes in the wind,
guilty conscience, all have sinned.

 Boundless boundaries, chosen few,
hope remembered, postponed anew.
Knowledge known, memory's scar,
forgotten wishes upon a star.

Token pleasures, please no more.
Unspoken treasure, words unsure.
Slowly timed, time’s reflex slows.
Mindless fruits, reflections show.

Impassioned pleas pass unheard,
Spoken softly, sad, silent word.
I wonder, wander, endless roads,
Who can hear unopened books,
in the blindness, sadness looks.

Life Without Color

Someone asked, "What would your life be without color?"  I answered,  "My life would be pallid and pale without color.  Each day would be drab, dreary and dismal.  There'd be no primary colors, no rainbows,  no yellow sunshine, no red-blue-yellow sunsets  and no white clouds. No white snow or black storm clouds.  I'd walk in an indistinct and neutral existence.  No green  trees, no green  grass, no blue seas, no blue skies,  would leave me cheerless and dry. My face would not turn red  with anger or embarrassment. My face would not turn white  with fear or pain. I'd not grow green with envy.  Nothing would be just black and white.  My life would be full of motionless emotion,  if there were no color. © 2013 ajwrites57 Image URI:  http://mrg.bz/fwDYZp Image URI:  http://mrg.bz/g6haeq By  Hairysuncold Please find my other writings on Hub...

old friends

old friends searched online for former friends surprised to see untimely ends friends, their spouses, moms and dads sad to see the deaths they had the inexorable tick and tock of time, leads us all to fields, sublime through twisting, turning hands of fate, soon we'll all be known as "late" years roll on, time is passed no one knows how long it lasts each life is counted out by days as friends we oft go separate ways friend's faces show the lines of age as each one turns his separate page fools fleeting time waits for no man eighty years our lives may span so count your days with special care for who knows how, who knows where our beating hearts will one day stop find old friends before they drop © 2014 ajwrites57 A Long ❤ ❤ ❤ Image adapted:  By SDRandCo via morguefile.com
