Cycles
j a connor Sep 2021
The season is coming
Leaves crumble underfoot
Skies change signalling a departure from youth to mid life
Autumn beckons to its cooler sibling
Preparing for the challenge we must all face
The final path towards what lies ahead

Onward

Try to have hope
When all all around seem bleak
The noose of reality
Around the neck of the meek
Look to our history
Learning the goal
Prepare yourself
For the leading role

Weekend at the beach
j a connor Jun 2024
Friday evening sails into view
Sky turns a rosy shade of blue

Rise to my feet
Stroll across the sand

Listen to the surf
Riding the land

I drunk some wine
Just to clear my mind

But
I can't stop

Thinking about you

Spark Of Contemplation
j a connor Jan 2022
By the campfire the vision in the flame lured Sal within.

Will Cassady remain ?

As the light reaches higher

Sunset to dawn
Chill to warm


Sparks fade for another day.

Needing freedom to live in this projection
Finally realising

Take a chance while there's still time

A Life Full Of Choices

Does the thought of the action worry you more

Will you be comfortable knowing what is behind the door

the decisions you choose
maybe win maybe lose

But to do or to don't
That's free to explore

I remember the time when we were kids
The fun we had
The things we did
And I wonder
Why did it change

You're still here in my heart
Each and every day
I thought I'd left you behind but my dreams made you stay
I see you now
I think of then

But I made me a promise

Never
Again

Feeling Cold
j a connor Jan 2021
I lift the snow and place it in a nice white envelope
Frozen
Form unaltered
I post

428 miles is the distance it must travel
No hope of survival

But

It holds the moment
An emotion
Melted
Something pure
Now nothing but a memory
