Forgotten Notes
Let me sing to you, my daughter,
so I may make the strings of your heart,
play music that’s in between.
Journal Entry # 122 – Plant Those Trees
Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree. – Martin Luther King, Jr.
The Red Road
I walked a path less travelled,
on a road covered in red.
Evergreens bowed before me,
to welcome back an old soul.
Draped, lonely…in silence.
A still that became my only friend.
There, my worries were sheltered,
protected by a forgotten trail.
That journey became ritual,
to protect me from blended reality.
I ran as soon as the sun would let me,
far away from the stranger who looked just like me.
That Song
I remember that song.
Every note just for me.
Sweet melody,
aimed straight toward my heart.
Our souls in tandem with the music.
I’d bathe in the cast of your light.
You with that grin.
I’m there sometimes,
when I go back,
for a listen…just for me.
Lonely Heart
It barely even beats.
Doesn’t matter though, now.
Given this heart…
only to stare at strangers,
thinking that for a life’s blink,
that stranger could have been you.
I tired of being wrong.
