whatever moves me .. sometimes its real, sometimes a fleeting thought

the quiet garden
where nothing grows
time has withered away
the whisper of the breeze
passing through the dry and empty
nonexistant growth
the rain falls on barren soil
the sun does not shine
no lush greens
only brown and rotted traces of what was
no life , the scent of nothingness
does anyone remember how it used to be?

the chain
chains that bind
reminders of time
holding fast
to the past
chains dont tell
of the hells
link by link
they join together
holding memories
in the clasp

replaced
all my hopes, and dreams, are dead
the fears, and nightmares, fill my head
my heart ,and soul ,are filled with dread
a shimmering star, that once shone so bright
clouded now, by twilight
a moonbeam, once glimmered upon the water
no longer does it dance
it's left my life, and now i'm lost
enveloped in a trance
the crystal twinkle, of an eye
i no longer see
only empty promises
seem to follow me
a heart felt smile, a warm embrace
no longer do i feel
emptiness ,surrounds my life
nothing, is for real
as the tall oak, drops its leaves
and autumn winds predict
a cold ,and bitter wind
causes so much pain
it's anguish it inflicts

what matters.....
the little joys in life
a hot cup of coffee on a cold morn
a kind thought from a friend
a hug
a cat purring
a look of love
a child s offer to share thier gummy worms
a thumbs up when you did your best
a drag off your friends smoke
a smile
a wilted flower picked just for you
your name written in the sand
a lick of you best friends ice cream cone
a wiggly puppy kissing your face
a joke thats not very funny
a loving touch

whispering winds
mysterious sounds
carrying a message
as leaves tumble down
sometimes a shrill whistle
sometimes a soft purr
sending a chill
down to my soul
what is its secret
what does it say
maybe it tells
of reaching a goal
listening so carefully
coming my way
is it a warning
of what is to be
is it a story
sent just for me
