Moving On

Looking back
days long past
Smiles fade to black

laughs die away
echoes of joy
tears dried up

all memories of life
reflecting in the mind
a soul is warmed

darkness brought to light
the joyous sounds of laughter
crying those happy tears

new beginnings
looking forward
life is good

Alone

I sit in a crowed place
surrounded by people
yet I am alone

sitting with friends
yet still in solitude
am I that different

I am seen and heard
acknowledged not
every now and then incite a smile

across the room I see eyes
but they look away as quick
a smile is nothing anymore

darkness in a world of light
such misery within a grin
the living ghost

do they really see me
just drifting through life
forever unnoticed

love, what does it mean
is it knowing or feeling
within sight or touch

it is felt but how
desire entices
creates the feeling

making an addiction
creating a disease
that entraps life

every turn this is seen
day by day
always in sight

is it blind
or can it see
could it be chance

all within life
to create life
full circle
