Nobody (Published at The Writers Club)

Dancing to
the sounds of raindrops,
while they flood my
washed up shoes.
I can hear as
bells are ringing,
people run to
pay their dues.

I resist
but can not hide
as a tear
reaches my eye.
Sway around
move to the rhythm
of the droplets
falling down.

Failed to stop
I keep on moving
as my clothes
feel like the lake.
Never felt
exhilaration
crash so hard
my body shakes.

Felt a stillness
taking over
making this
my final dance.
Bitting hard
pierced my own lip
thanks to hope
received a chance.

Moonlit Dinner

My chosen guest of honor,
for dinner and some drinks,
putting my hopes upon her,
darkness instantly fixed.

Her presence ever changing,
beginning with her face,
a perfect meal awaiting,
illuminating phase.

A night sky filled with beauty,
an awesome, clear, pure sight.
Attract her essence to me,
my heart detects her light.

Full moon emerges promptly,
proudly taking her place,
my soul welcomes her calmly,
tenderness laced with grace.

Communication opens,
filling me up with joy,
all words were sensed not spoken,
and essence well enjoyed.

Gathering every quarter,
resets my energy,
great guest and grand supporter,
magical synergy.

Reach out

The greatest blessing
I have found,
to help another
off the ground.
Exposing many,
to new sounds.
Creating new views,
all around.

Extending my hand
to fix needs,
makes me feel useful,
guaranteed.
To watch that person
then exceed,
admiring them as
they succeed.

Assist another,
both have won,
to shine as brightly
as the Sun.
Good deeds can never
come undone.
When we remember
we are one.
