Purple Plain

Poem....Purple Plain

In front of me a purple plain
As far as I can see
The footprints I leave are Green
A future I want to be
Others begin to join me
Leaving their prints of Green
Moving toward sustainability
A vision to be seen
Many more have joined us
On our march to purple quest
Behind us a sea of Green
Those footprints of the best

Reaching out

Poem.....Reaching out

Is it now
Or some time past
Or some future time
That image
That feel
Of you by my side
No words spoken
No anticipation
No regret
No interpretation
Only us two
Taking in the stars

Complexities

Poem.... Complexities

Beyond the edge
Hidden behind purple
Between chunks of grays and reds
Under slats of black
And shadows they throw
I look at life
And complexities I Know

Back Away

Poem.....Back Away

Back away
From things today
From have to haves
From games we play
Get out if our cars
Throw away the keys
Walk to the local store
Live life with ease
Open the windows
Feel the cool breeze
Turn off the AC
Look at some trees
We really don't need
What they tell us to be
Find a good book
Turn off the TV
The darkness soon to come
And candles will throw
Beautiful shadows on the wall
A peace we shall know.

Not this Day

Poem....Not this Day

When the day comes
And we no longer touch
But not this Day

When a smile
No longer lights up the room
But not this Day

When your face
Is an actress in my dreams
But not this Day

When our laughter
Become a deafening silence
But Not this Day

Hold my hand
Look in my eyes
We are in this Day.

One less brick in the wall

Poem....One less brick in the wall

A sheet of thousands of years
Defining our triumps and our tears
Dress for success
Drive the right car
Have the right neighbors
You will go far
Like any old sheet
Tears will appear
Doubts will creep through
The country club will disappear
Neighbors leave without a clue
The sheet that up to now
has closely defined us all
Is developing bigger tears
One less brick in the wall
A newer way of living
One less brick in the wall
