Soon
Reappear.

(For Timothy)

Twas a short poem I was reading...
I had started writing my comments, when...
A very strange feeling rushed through me.
With very strange thoughts:

"This... has exactly happened before...
This poem, I have read before...
Written these very same thoughts before!"

Over and over, I blinked...I had to make sure...
But, all at once, one brief moment...
I found myself seated beside a grand piano,
By a wide ostentatious stairway,
In a bright, candle-lit mansion...
But, stranger still, while I was writing,
My eyes strayed to my right,
To a mirror by the wall...
I saw a handsome young man,
With slightly long curly hair,
Wearing a long-sleeved, white ruffled shirt
And a pair of dark pants,
Holding paper and quill,
Looking back at me...

I was staring at myself!

I was holding a paper
Where I had written my thoughts
About a poem titled
"WILT...."

It's Christmas time again
Christmas trees and Christmas lights lit up for all to see
I think some of us as we got older we have somehow lost
The wonder of it all
It would be neat to see it though the eyes of a child
The lights the trees seemed magical
There unwavering belief, nothing seemed impossible
Christmas Villages lit up seemed frozen in a simpler time
To children it did not matter if they had a dime, homemade gifts are fine
The presents under the tree were a delight to see
The simple amazement of it all
The wonder of it all
The gathering of family and friends and neighbors too
The real sense of community
The trust people had for their fellow man
It did not matter if you got a little or lot
You were just grateful for what you had
You just enjoyed time with those you loved
  The freshly fallen snow added to the wonder that day
   Then in the fallen snow you play
   I hope you will discover through the eyes of a child
   The wonder of it all

Sometimes Something Happens

Sometimes something happens
That makes you stop and think
Is this the life I planned on
Or is it just the life I need

Is this life I live a good one
Have I done enough to help
In the end when I look back
Will I be happy with myself

Sometimes something happens
Makes you take that one step back
It reminds you of what matters
Or the good life that you have

It gives a new perspective
Shows a different point of view
Creates a feeling deep inside
That somehow changes you

Sometimes something happens
That makes you change your mind
Allows for new beginnings
Let's you leave your past behind

Well today that something happened
That did all the things above
It gave me what I needed most
A new chance to fall in love

Sometimes something happens
