don't understand

dont understand the need for drug and drink
to make the dawn
seem even more enchanting -
or
a sunset
outlive its moment of perfection
when the beauty God has created
is always enough

maturity

"Maturity is the ability to do a job whether or not you are supervised, to carry money without spending it, and to bear an injustice without wanting to get even".-Ann Landers

2 out of 3 - not too bad! ;-)

mattter of the heart

It is a matter of the heart after all
But we have spoken of it
so many times before
It has costs so much already
- must it cost more?
How much more must it take away
And who shall bear such cost
Seemingly only an act
- difficult to remember
difficult not to do
But perhaps only seemingly difficult
An act grown large for the price which has had to be paid
So what ought I do now
Do I make silence my companion
For when a tree falls in the forests
and there are no ears to hear
there is no noise any way
Perhaps it is of little consequence
after all - it is only a matter of the heart.
