She Smiled Again
In grief she wore her sadness like a shroud,
She isolates herself and hides away,
She lived each day beneath the darkest cloud,
For love she lost one tragic day in May,
Well meaning friends, they told her life goes on,
And life was for the living, not the dead,
But nothing mattered now that he was gone,
She held the precious memories in her head,
The months turned into years since he had passed,
She lost count of the many tears she cried,
Her friends had wondered how long this would last,
They failed to see that part of her, had died.
One day she thought of him and felt no pain,
The darkest cloud had gone; she smiled again.

Short Cut
She came, she saw, but conquered not,
The battles to be fought,
The final straw descended,
To break the camels back.
Her problems vast before her,
Solutions not in sight,
No friends around to help now,
No guiding, shining light.
And lonely in her solitude,
Her spirit in despair,
The love and care of family,
Not suffice to keep her there.
Her darkest hour came on her,
Her defences all but gone,
A spontaneous decision,
To take, a short cut home.
And quietly slipping through the door,
On to another realm,
Did she think no one would miss her,
Did she leave a note behind.
And did she know the trauma,
Her passing would convey,
To those of us who loved her,
And need her here today.
Did she shed a tear of sorrow,
Or regret the choice she made,
Did she take her problems with her,
As, she quietly slipped away.
And will she now have found the light,
Which shines from God above,
To lead her to a place of rest,
And those, who guide and love.

Sitting Quietly
Sitting quietly,
All is well,
Way past midnight,
Who can tell,
Will tomorrow,
Bring respite,
Cold and windy,
Darkest night.
Sitting quietly,
By my screen,
Read some poems,
Never seen,
Telling stories,
Ringing bell,
Cast a coin,
Wishing well.
Sitting quietly,
All in bed,
I should rest now,
Weary head,
Work tomorrow,
Weekend looms,
Time for shopping,
Cleaning rooms.
Sitting quietly,
Home alone,
Turn off TV,
Ansaphone,
Hear a message,
Call back soon,
Come tomorrow,
Afternoon.
Sitting quietly,
Silent thoughts,
Quiet contentment,
Cant be bought,
Busy schedule,
Day by day,
How time quickly,
Flies away.

The Lonely Beach
Oh, how I missed you, Lonely Beach,
Where I have left my soul,
The rugged rocks surround me,
I sit there, lost, alone.
Before me is the ocean,
The stormy Irish Sea,
It comes to me, Im part of you,
And know, youre part of me.
You send a wave to kiss my feet,
And then you back away,
You tantalise, you hypnotise,
You hold me, make me sway.
I grip the rock to steady me,
Lest I fall in too deep,
Im lost in love for you now,
The way back now, so steep.
Another wave comes crashing,
Bestows a gentle kiss,
And now I get to taste you,
You linger on my lips.
Im filled now with a passion,
For you, I cant ignore,
Im satisfied, contented,
And leave you on the shore.
