Discovery

It was hard for Jim to separate his yearnings from his emotions. 
He was young and just getting accustomed to the world around him.
There was so much to discover away from the nest.
Thrilling, and yet guilt-ridden.
Freedom waiting to be discovered.

Left Behind

Focus on being
A moment in passing
distractions left behind
farewell

Disappointment

Disappointment is the norm
no need to wait for things to get better
just accept what is

Moving with hope

Love would chance the streets
moving with hope
better tomorrows
paved from forgotten yesterdays

Unnoticed

Herbert was lost in his reading.
An antique himself
like the register he stood behind
when all came to a crashing end
he wouldn't even notice

Tragedy

Tragedy comes with government
actions of desperation
corruption at hand

Occupied

Fran kept her mind occupied
cluttered with things past
looking back was all she could do
trying to fill her own shoes

Drying Tears

The air filled with the foul smell of death.
A grey stench that clung to us.
A reminder of freedom lost...
Drying tears.

Apart

We were at war with ourselves
divided, hearts and minds apart
taking comfort in moments
passing into the unknown 
freedom for sale

Know Not

Cars passing in the distance
know not what awaits them
lost on the highway of time

Not Adding Up

When things don't add up
we look the other way
falling into lockstep

Less to Carry

Letting go along the way
makes the journey easier
with less to carry

Outside

Freedom exists outside of the will of government
something so many have died for

Well Done

Everyone gone
alone to face the world
another campaign
well done

Go Around

We can't go around the fact
that we are the product of our fears

Face It

When we face ourselves
we are ready to face the world
