one wonders

Through 
the 
lonesome 
days
and
lonely
ways
one wanders
and
one wonders.





How can
one
be so
alone?
How can
one
be so
thrown?


Friendship fails
and
loss prevails
and
wounds assail
one's
heart.


Friends
have come
and
friends
have gone,
ne'er the twain
shall meet.


Friends
who are
sometimes
friends
are 
always
friends
no more.


Friends
with masks
and two-faces
ask
with tongues forked
and fingers crossed
behind their backs
for
friendship,
but
do not know
the meaning.


The solitary times
with no
rhythm or rhymes
lead to
heart less,
solo crimes.


Eremetic
lives
lived
under grey skies
soon despise
companion's ties.


So as
one wanders
and
one wonders,
alone,
can hope abide
where tears
were cried
and
emptiness
has resided?


How can
one
be turned
around
from friendless
rounds
to friend filled
towns,
one wanders
and
one wonders?

and love

and love and love happens like lightning striking in a moment, in a day, in a glance. and love changes like dawn breaks, imperceptibly from dark to light. and love surrounds like morning mist, rising from nowhere until it envelopes. and love grows from pain to hunger gnawing from the belly and the mind. and love is desperate like addiction overriding every other appetite. and love creates a world like a dream where days are lived in slow motion. and love empowers like confident faith emboldening to overcome obstacles. and love lasts like the ocean waves' ebbs and flows, forever. © 2014 ajwrites57 A Long ❤ ❤ ❤ Image:  By elayne001 via pixabay

Winter's Way

Winter's Way Snow swirls and settles softly, down. Frozen ponds and pine trees are painted white. Winter wind whirls, swirls and twirls in circles, up and down, in and out. Drifting snow piles high here and there. Snow birds flitter, flutter and forage,  then, hurry to their roosts to nestle. Bright moon shines and the ice reflects it's beams between snowflakes and flurries. December's icy blanket covers field and hills. Blustery nights turn into biting cold days. Frosted roads crunch beneath sleighs led by huffing, puffing mares.  Mufflers, mittens or gloves cover frigid hands. Earmuffs, overcoats, and scarves stave off shivers. Snowbound sledders find space  to steer down slippery slopes. Firewood crackles in the fireplace. Snuggled beneath fleece throws, we counter polar storms and ice-kissed frigid gales. Jack Frost's season overwhelms  and overblows with solstice ice-flowers. © 2013 ajwrites57 A Lon...
