Hope's Song

One day as I was moaning

About the troubles in my life

I heard a bird singing

That everything would be fine


It sang so wonderfully

That I almost believed

But part of me still asked

How could this be?


But the song still sang

And put hope in the air

The silver lining it told me

 Must surely be there


To believe in the future

So that I could have today

To believe that the past is over

That it has gone away


I am still learning

But believe I eventually will

And when I look beside me

I see the singing bird still

The Chair beneath the Tree

How forlorn that chair is Resting there on its own How sad and grim it is That companionable seat, alone

Hoping and Waiting

Days come and nights pass The sun rises and the moon sets Time flows with terrible consistency And all is soon! But not yet

Castles in the Sky

I should like to lie in a garden And look up at the sky Where the clouds would freely roam And the gentle birds would fly
