My strides...

tear stained memories.

Where does one begin in the simple trails
of the future and past?
Do we dwell on the ways we wish things would be,
or do we cast our thoughts upon the way things are.

A simple smile,
A light beating of ones heart,
when they feel within the the joys of living.
The happiness, the gleam within their eyes.
Light blue outcasts of ones inner life.
Telling the simple tale of how all was and is.
Well it is not so easy for one as myself.
For the journey thru the past,
is covered with tear stained memories.

Can one tell where happiness begins,
and where the sorrows set in?
Is there a pattern to life's quest,
that we all must adhere to?
I feel this to be true.
I feel life's journey is set forth before us,
at the time of beginning.
Not a path we decide upon,
but one set before us to live.
Be it in joy and happiness,
or be it in sorrow and bitterness.

It is easy to see when the heart beats fast,
when the deepest thoughts within come forth at last.
these are life's threads,
their weaved throughout us all.
Life's little way to tear stained memories.

Look to nature one of gods greatest gifts.
See the beauty of the rose,
as it opens against the suns warm rays.
a single entity,
yet strong thru it's roots.

But is it happy?
no i do so believe within.
for in time if one watches,
it grows old, wilts, and soon dies.
this is natures sorrow,
and it's darkest reminder.
That all things leave,
in tear stained memories.

Alas my heart beats within,
a body of lost dreams mayie Turphy.
Feelings come forth as lone cries,
against a blanket of darkness in the night.
Darkened memories enter the mind,
and control life's past and future for me.
Is there anyway one can withdraw,
and not face it's wrath?
From today,
through the past,
To the mothers womb.

We all feel life's quest.
Thru tear stained memories
