Change

The environment changes

The people change

The time changes

But nothing changes

You still start and end

You find ways to whittle the time

As the world changes

Everything but nothing changes

Comfort

My knees hit the floor

As the world blurs

And tears flow from my eyes

I hear a sound of feet over my anguish

And the feel of comfort

As soft warm arms wrap around me

The tears stop

As a calm soft voice whispers

That it will never leave

I turn my head

The wind blows

As my eyes land on nothing

And with the wind

The comfort of the arms and voice vanish

And once again the world blurs

And I’m Alone

The World of Gray

I travel a world of gray

A world of nothing

In this world I stare

I long for something new

Something to pull me out of this world of gray

As I stared into the gray heavens

A crack opened

A crack to show me what I longed

I saw something pass the gray

It was color a sensation new to me

But as I stared it vanished into the world of gray

Now I walk in this world of gray

Toward the veil of the world I long for

I walk with a smile across my face

Alone I Walk

Alone I walk

Through the streets of the deceased

Searching the rubble of the fallen

For the one to bring peace to my soul

The wind howls taking signs of life to distant lands

The scrub and weeds grow in cracks along the floor

Dust it settles where none but air flows

The sky it cries for a forgotten soul

White light plays tricks springing up life where none exists

Hidden under broken towers life flashes away as soon as it comes

Death is inevitable to the soul as solitude weaves its grasp

The strongest will survives little longer then the weak

As the sun pierces the heavens casting back the shadows

Life seeps back into the world

Havoc rushes forth sweeping the streets

Alone I walk in the city’s masses

Men of Greatness

As the sun rises

A man rides across the horizon

He wears a symbol the world will know

A symbol to announce great men

But as the man rides through the lone land

He does not realize the symbol he wears

He just rides forward into the endless landscape

While the boy plays he wears a symbol

A symbol that represents the men of greatness

The boy dreams as all children dream of the world

This symbol represents

As the sun sets a lone rider rides into the sun

A boy walks the road leading west

Their only a shadow against the light

But the symbol they wear stands visible

The symbol of the great men to come

And great men from the past

The hat both wear

Mean different things to each

The face of the men of old

Have long been forgotten

The face may be forgotten

But to us they lived like gods

In a world the young dream to reach

And so the sun sets

And the man is remembered

For the greatness he once showed

The Lone Bench

I sit upon this bench alone

I watch as the world passes by

I feel no happiness

I have no feeling but sadness

As I sit others come

They stay briefly bringing moments of feelings

But none ever stay

They are all but a fleeting dream and feeling

I wish for some to stay

But like happiness they abandon me

I sit alone on this bench

Waiting for the one

The one who feels me

The one who never leaves

Patiently I sit

Upon this bench alone
