Give me silence
Let me retreat
My time has been stretched
Memories faded
I have to admit
Were they faults or rejections
These no achieving deeds
The search for love
Quests for answers
Fled that vulnerable scene
Stifled thoughts
Blocked laneways
Unknowns remained
Rescued and mastered
By the very next of kin

Deep conversations we do enjoy
Prospects in generous age the theme
Between worries and joy
Good coffee and cream
Daily marching plan includes
A Corgi who sends to to rest
when the clock strikes hurry
It's making its nest
We do talk about leaving for the end of our time
Probability for all
Sweetheart tells me
message sent
I want to go first
Couldn't bear to be without you
No comment
True love for so many years

A glass of wine
I long for this morning
End of the day mealtimes
Us lucky citizens
Our pantries loaded
Stores full to the rim
Fourty percent waisted
This claim just came in
More food than we need
Yet hunger persists
In huge areas of this planet
Due to inequalities sin
What's wrong
Citizens priorities make that list
Socialists find your place
Liberalism a middle ground
Questions remain
Strongholds of religions
If not used for righteous claim
Boundaries on this earth
Delete wars and pain
Now
Bring back Compassion's Dame

Influence me
So I may be good

Your cove has emptied
They are all fine
At a stage in life you have been
But you don't decline

Lust imagination realities you face
Alone to find partners
Storm into this new phase
You battle you struggle
For life you want bad

The day will rise out of darkness
Each morning new dawn
Chances are you may harness
This neverending hope to be reborn

The Ode to Joy
Hummed everywhere
