Poem: Reflections at Year’s End

As the final days of the year draw near,
I pause in the quiet, my heart crystal clear.
The clock ticks softly, a gentle reminder,
Of moments now fleeting, of memories kinder.

I sift through the pages of time that has passed,
Each chapter a story, some shadows, some vast.
Laughter and heartache, triumph and fear,
Each thread woven tightly, now crystal clear.

The laughter of friends, the warmth of their smiles,
The journeys we traveled, the miles and the trials.
The lessons I’ve learned, the bridges I’ve crossed,
In the tapestry woven, no moment is lost.

Yet shadows linger, regrets softly creep,
Whispers of choices that haunt me in sleep.
The paths not taken, the words left unsaid,
A tapestry frayed, where colors have bled.

But as the year wanes, I breathe in the night,
Embracing the darkness, embracing the light.
For every misstep, a chance to begin,
A promise of growth, a chance to dive in.

With hope in my heart, I look to the dawn,
The canvas of tomorrow, a new day reborn.
I’ll carry the lessons, the love and the pain,
Into the new year, like sun after rain.

So here’s to the moments, both bitter and sweet,
To the laughter, the tears, and the people I meet.
As the year comes to close, I raise a glass high,
To the journey ahead, beneath the vast sky.

Oh, Luna, my celestial muse,
Your ethereal beauty, I cannot refuse.
You grace the night sky with your gentle light,
A beacon of hope in the darkest of night.

Your silvery glow, a mesmerising sight,
Casts a spell upon the world, a magical rite.
The stars twinkle, a chorus divine,
But you, my dear moon, your radiance is mine.

I stand in awe, my heart filled with wonder,
As I gaze upon your face, a world to ponder.
The craters and shadows, a map of your past,
A story untold, a mystery to last.

You pull at the tides, a celestial dance,
Commanding the oceans with a mere glance.
Your power is mighty, your influence grand,
A guardian of dreams, a keeper of plans.

When clouds obscure your face, I feel a pang of loss,
Longing for your light, to guide me across.
But you always return, a faithful friend,
Reminding me that darkness never will mend.

Oh, Luna, my muse, my celestial queen,
Your beauty unmatched, your grace ever seen.
I’ll bask in your glow, my heart filled with awe,
For you are the moon, the one I adore.

Poem: Pillow Thoughts

When my head hits the pillow at night,
And darkness surrounds me, a blanket of night.
My mind starts to wander, thoughts swirling around,
Echoing loudly, without any sound.

The day’s events replay in my head,
The things I should’ve done, the words I should’ve said.
Regrets and worries, they creep in with ease,
Robbing me of sleep, denying me peace.

But amidst the chaos, a glimmer of light,
Memories surface, bringing comfort and might.
Moments of laughter, of love and of cheer,
Reminding me that joy is always near.

I think of my loved ones, their faces so dear,
And know that their presence will always be here.
Their support and their kindness, a strength I can’t deny,
Helping me face each day, helping me try.

So when my head hits the pillow at night,
And the world seems to fade, a canvas of white.
I’ll embrace the stillness, the quiet so sweet,
And let my heart and mind finally meet.

For in this moment, when all else is still,
I find the answers, the peace, and the will.
To face the next day, with courage and grace,
Knowing that tomorrow is a brand new place.

Poem: The Simple Joys of Childhood

I sometimes tell BB & GG that I had a better childhood than them. While the two of them did not grow up with technology like the children of today, they were exposed to it at a much younger age. My father was in IT, so I was exposed to technology much earlier than my peers, but our childhood was one that was free of pretty much all technology, with the exception of the radio and some television. Today’s poem is a throwback to that simple time, when life was about playing and enjoying life!

The Simple Joys of Childhood

In the days of the eighties and nineties’ embrace,
Where childhood was golden, a magical place,
No internet buzz or smart device calls,
Just laughter and sunshine, and echoes in halls.

Mornings with cartoons, a bowl full of cheer,
Saturday wonders, so simple and dear,
Riding bikes freely, till the streetlights came on,
With scraped knees and smiles, till daylight was gone.

Secret societies and letters sent through the mail,
Whispered secrets and an adventurous tale,
Skipping rope rhythms, hopscotch on chalk,
Endless games played on sidewalks of talk.

Library visits, the scent of old books,
Adventures in pages, with longing looks,
Trading cards, stickers, and marbles in hand,
Simple treasures cherished, in a world unplanned.

Climbing up trees, feeling the breeze,
Catching fireflies with effortless ease,
Running through sprinklers, laughter in flight,
Campfire stories that flickered in the night.

Handwritten letters passed in the class,
Notes folded neatly, with whispers that last,
Ice cream truck melodies, coins in races,
Chasing the music, with joy on our faces.

Friendships were forged in the simplest of ways,
Shared in the parks, on long summer days,
Hide and seek giggles, and tag’s playful chase,
In a world of pure wonder, an innocent space.

No screens to distract, no digital chase,
Just the pure, simple joys of a slower-paced race,
In the heart of the eighties and nineties delight,
Childhood was magic, in the purest of light.

Poem: Beauty lies in the eyes of the Beholder

In the eyes of the beholder, beauty is found,
A prism of visions where judgments are crowned,
What one may see plain, another sees gold,
For beauty, my dear, is a story retold.

A petal in bloom, a star in the night,
A whisper of wind, the softest of light,
To one, a mere moment; to another, divine,
Each gaze is unique, and and each heart intertwines.

An ancient oak tree, gnarled and wise,
Its rough bark is a testament, under open skies,
Some see it as weathered, old and uncouth,
Others find magic in its ageless truth.

A smile with a gap, a laugh full of mirth,
A soul that finds joy in the simplest of earth,
Not perfect by standards, yet perfect in kind,
Beauty resides in the eye and the mind.

For mirrors can’t capture the depths of the soul,
Nor portraits define what makes us whole,
It’s the lens of the heart that colors the view,
In the eyes of the beholder, all things are true.

So cherish your visions, the ones that you keep,
For beauty is vast, and endlessly deep,
In the eye of the beholder, where dreams take their flight,
Every glance holds a wonder, every gaze, pure delight.
