If I were lain amongst a golden field Would I move? Do I retain the capability of life? Or is just being more important? I shut out all that is not myself And should another seep in A fire starts in my brain To burn up their influence And return I. An I for anContinue reading “Am I – A Poem”

Sometimes at night, I wonder if the whole universe is Lying next to me And I just don’t know it.
Frozen Sand- A Poem
Reaching out to touch the fading glass Of memories that have wandered past, I see myself reflected back but It is not me. Not who I thought I was.

Snow Day – A Poem
