Old Friends (Haiku)

There is totally

nothing in this universe

quite like an old friend

Their contribution

to your life extends above

and beyond the norm..

Their entire concern

for your total well being

- unconditional!

Moments In Time

If I could choose one moment in my life to ponder on

Eliminating everything that I depend upon

I'd probably take forever contemplating everything

And take more than one lifetime just in deliberating

My life has been a steady flow of insignificance

and never really changes much by fate or circumstance

However in the realms of everything that's possible

I still feel like I'm waiting for something incredible.

Meanwhile, while I wait, I think I'll just continue on

Meandering through each moment just in case it comes along

It's highly more than likely though I just might very well

Grow old and grey just sitting here - without a tale to tell.

Philosophicalish Me

Sky is overcast and grey but I’m alive and breathing

That makes it a good day and gives living it some meaning

Sometimes feeling very old, I’m past all expectations

Winter does this every time, demands self explorations

Quietly in contemplation looking down life’s journey

Wondering about the things that life decided for me

Considering the impacts from the mild to the extremes

Recalling distant yearnings and those unrequited dreams

Life and people moving on and so it will always be

Many touch my life then leave until there is only me

It’s all those little things in life that shape our universe

Accepting it is what it is - a blessing or a curse

Our destiny’s to roll with everything life brings our way

That has been my experience there’s not much more to say

Just live each moment given but just know eventually

Those moments have a cut off date - and so sadly do we.

My Beautiful (Ada Is Her Name)

 I had a dream and in this dream my beautiful was there

She said “I’ll see you later boy!” I said “You come back here!!”

She answered back “you got 10 others boy - we’re all the same”;

I said “there’s one my beautiful – and Ada is her name!”

She turned and took my hand and said “This thing is mine to do,

you know that when I start something, I always see it through”

You’ll be ok there’s 10 still there, you know we’re all the same!!”

I said “I need my beautiful – and Ada is her name!”

Then from the shadows just beyond two images appeared

One big and tall, the other small - both smiling, silver haired

My beautiful said “Here they are, I called out and they came”

They came to take my beautiful – and Ada is her name!

The selfishness, the wanting with my soul to have her here

Has lessened now I know she’s with our Mum and Dad somewhere

What lingers still and always will – the everlasting pain

That in this life I’ll never see my beautiful again…

My beautiful has always been so beautiful to me

As in this dream as well as life unto eternity

I know there are 10 others and she’s right, we are the same;

But none are like my beautiful – and Ada is her name!.
