Forgotten Dreams

what of these dreams
lying in the shadows
of our lives -
cast aside -
were they judged unworthy
of achievement
or did we lack the courage
to realize them

can we face
the hard truth

Gray Days

on these gray days
when the rain 
is a cold threat upon the air
my bones ache
along the cracks of old injuries,
my joints are stiff
with reminders of the years gone by -
years filled
with laughter and heartache -
these pains remind me
I have lived,
they tell me 
I will die,
they show me,
today,
I am alive.

People

people interest me
      I have no patience for them
we are richer for our interactions
      their neediness is intolerable
individual stories beg to be told
      they are too blunt to have value
we need one another to survive
      they want so much, it exhausts
we're all in this together
      sometimes it's hard to remember
