The Evening's Glow

Often, we forget how great life is. We take everything for granted, and we build up so much anger and hate for the world from our own experiences. But, watching the sun set or the sun rise, reminds us just how great it is to appreciate the little things of life. The birds waking you with their morning song and the gentle buzz of the crickets in the evening. These are the things we often overlook, but once we slow down and begin to listen, we can find that life isn't terrible, we just have to open our eyes.

  • Place of Love

    If love were a place, where would it be?

    Would it be in the arms of their gentle embrace?

    Would it be where echoes of their laughter kiss the wall?

    Is it the place where only love can dwell?

    Would it be ever changing?

  • Stuck In Mind

    My heart aches,

    You linger in mind,

    Where others should live, you stay.

    Why can’t I forget something,

    That was never meant to be?

     

    Everything reminds me of you

    The gentle patter of raindrops,

  • Forever Aching

    Deep in my chest

    Lies an ever-throbbing ache,

    A constant reminder

    Of love unreturned.

     

    Late at night, I lie awake,

    Dreaming of things that could never be.

    A smile, a laugh, a fleeting gaze—
