One Lane Through Trees

The poet must decide if bird cries are cries of ecstasy or cries of despair. - Lawrence Ferlinghetti

-----------------------------------------

One Lane Through Trees

Sometimes the road is silent,
trees lining its perimeter.

And I look in my rear view mirror,
for her,
for where tomorrow has gone,
but imagining she is here.

Sometimes the road is silent,
bringing forth only dust,
and this truck carries me on.

There is an abyss to life
we do not know,
comprehend,
nor understand.

And I have lost my reality...

Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven. Stairway to Heaven; Led Zeppelin

Untitled…

…there are twists to time,
she’s gone,
the essence of love
fades into twilight…

…this generation knows not
the love it has lost,
yet it seeks
the paths to heaven…

…the forevermore
offers little hope
to the damned
and the paranoid…

…yet her silence says everything,
while a chasm separates
the unity once existing,
echoes persist…

..there are twists to time,
this generation knows not
the forevermore,
yet her silence says everything…

…our souls are high.
the silent, the faithful,
and the cherished
know this…
