Time Gone Bye

I sit here and write 
Of a time gone bye 
Of a time when laughter 
Reached
Hit the sky. 

When smiles
Were all you needed 
To be 
To be happy and carefree. 

But that time has passed 
That time has gone 
The world is dark 
Sorrow 
Misery all around. 

Maybe tomorrow 
A time will come 
Full of laughter 
Happiness 
All good things to come. 

I will live there 
I will survive 
I will taste good times 
They’ll be mine once again 
Soon and in
The sweet bye and bye.

Sweet Sorrow in your passing Shirley
❤️ Rest in Peace dear Sister of Life ❤️

 

Unforgiving Is The Night

Unforgiving is the night
Waxing in pale moonlight
No remorse echoes
Thru this night
Only lonely wails of moonlight.

Sun will come and shine
Making night a distant time
But til then we’ll exist
We will survive
Darkness hiding in night’s cold, ebbing tide.
