I'll go first then....this one is a bit serious....
NOTHING
In the lonely dark
they drove you
in a final embrace.
The groans of men,
the thud of coffins
transformation of forces
pass thought in marble
never quite balanced.
Don’t confuse, seen in such a light,
do more damage than good.
Recount.
I was home with all of you.
When you have nothing
you have nothing.
The peasant in you
is all alone.
Our delicate feet will touch the earth
again.
Long is the night
saying goodbye,
taking only my farewell with me
around my neck
I unharness the focus
of the situation
behind the curtain.
Life is strife and
we cannot retrace our steps.
I am a tide of wounds
from a distance
caught in dew.
A tempest in a teacup
broken up from nothing
on the table.
Go to sleep.
When you have nothing
you have nothing.
I am busy with my dying.

No?
Good Loz.
I write a lot,but I'll just share one I wrote many years ago. I kind of forget how I described the trees originally,lol. Poetry helped me get through the dub years,without having to be on meds.
"Nothingness"
Dimming shadows haunt the moon
As it hides behind whispering trees
For the wind is silent
It escaped the world
Before it lost its gravity
And fell in a black hole
Where time is not counted
Yes
No

Ex Witness Lament!!!
I look upon my life today,
And wish that i had known
There was an easer way
For my children, I could have shown.
Instead of hours of rushing out
to meetings,"Doors & Halls"
To distant towns & cities too!
Waiting for advice from the Watchtower crew
There was just one voice to hear
Who said" Be still my friend"
My yoke is light ,Your in my site
no need to rush around each night
in freezing rain,in sleet,& heat
expressing you have comely feet
Many of you walk in pain,a need
THEY say ,your life to gain."
HE paid the price for you & I
Why listen to that lie?
So lift that yoke ,put on the cloak,
Salvations HIS to give,
Lets watch our way,keep in HIS way
His light will shine our path today....
All atheists may now toss the rocks LOL
Ode to a Factory
I think that I shall never see
A factory lovely as a tree.
For if the factories aren't abolished
All the trees will be demolished.

Even at 12, I was a budding 'tree-hugger', when I parodied the famous Kilmer poem. :D

Flashback
Blood dripping from steel claws
Makes tracks in my memory.
Indelible ink for the soul.
The helmet of death draws nearer.
okay, a happy one, and then I'll shut up ...
The Numbers Game
My friend said,
"Age only matters if you're a wine or a cheese."
So what does this mean, you may say?
Seems to me, we're too focused on
BIRTH - DAY.
You are beautiful, young and alive,
Now listen up, gurl, this ain't
NO JIVE!
"Youth is wasted on the young",
A wise person said.
So, come with me, and we'll
PAINT THE TOWN RED!
You're the best, you're the greatest, and
You help me survive.
My friend, age is a number,
But YOU, you are
YOUNG and ALIVE!
