There's An Elephant In The Room

There's an elephant

in the room

that needs talking about

But nobody wants to

start the conversation

Avoiding the situation

seems the best thing to do

Exchanging pleasantries

And everyone agrees

the weather is rough

this time of the year

There'll be time enough

tomorrow

to shed a sad tear

to wallow in sorrow

to bury their grief

But the elephant

still hides in the shadows

A silent thief

Q:~How do you shrink an elephant?

A:~ With small talk! 

Dancing With The Rain

You tiptoe softly through my dreams

like a cloud on a summer breeze

Although I try and embrace you

you slip through my fingers like rain

Arms open wide I reach for you

Rain is falling all around me

pitter-patter like a heart beat

I'm dancing with the falling rain

When I wake up in the morning

I pray that I may fall asleep

I want to dance with you again

rain is falling all round me

I Wrote You A Poem

I wrote you a poem (left unread)

So I wove you a dream instead

I caught the wind in the forest

And chased the rain on the river

I collected dew from the dawn

And captured the gentle quiver

of lilting birdsong in the morn

 I spun heaven into your dreams

with bits of sky ever so blue

And wisps of silvery moonbeams

Spun with stars and a twilight hue

I wrote a poem for you

Nothing to cling to

Nothing to give or take

No keepsake
