How poetic can you be? Write a short poem about what you see

Wonderful words Donald. Prayer is amazing

Endless stairs seemingly leading somewhere

but you start and find out they lead nowhere

Is your life like that, always deceiving you

No matter where you go, you are so blue

What should you make of such a place

Life knocks you down, no smile on your face

No friends or family anywhere in sight

Certainly makes for a very long night

I've been there with no one to love

Then I remembered to look up above

Always there to guide and help you

Still loving you no matter what you do

Always remember you are never alone

Can be reached by prayer, not cell phone

I Am A Shadow

I am turning into a shadow, no longer to be me,

Wipe away these tears, of this body I will be free.

Invisible to many, a darkness to them all,

Only a darkened spot rising upon the wall.

No longer able to feel, no pain, no loss of mind,

Bring on the darkest journey, my existence to rewind.

Dust.Only a speck ‘neath the ash, upon the breeze I blow,

Gone now, a shadow never here, a shadow you will never know.
