The Chapters We Never Expected...

Chapters of life so unexpected,
In a split-second, each chapter contrasted,
Living in the past we never respected,
The book had a chapter we never expected.

Clueless we are how things got connected,
Were there hints in previous chapters, that we neglected?
This book so large with characters we have selected,
Lead us all to another chapter we never expected.

With bonds so strong we felt very protected,
The same old bonds we decided and disconnected,
Is this the fault of the characters we selected?
With no clue at all, we travel to a chapter we never expected.

When time was rough and we felt unprotected,
I know we all, tried so hard to be connected,
But we did not know, there have been poison injected,
Right before we entered the chapter we never expected.

In this chapter we feel so dejected,
Together let's recall the memories collected,
The book will be read with the chapters intended,
We like it or not, the pages will be turned to another chapter we never expected.

Whenever, to a new chapter I'm directed,
There are times I feel so unprotected,
At all those times my life is reminded,
My God's with me, in my life which is gifted,
With this in mind I fly through life's chapters we never expected.

When The Lights Went Out...

Surrounded by four brick walls, I could not look out, they were too tall, Watching the steam escaping the spout, I looked out the windows so small. On this chilly and gloomy night, I was amazed by the stars so bright, I realized there's always some light, It's just a matter of catching our sight. At the time, everybody just frowned, My heart was filled with stormy clouds, Seated on the chilly ground, I enjoyed, the chirping sounds. Even though I had to shout, Trying hard to chase away the stormy clouds, With a prayer requesting for a favor, To the lessons taught by nature, My head I bowed, On the gloomy night, When the lights went out. -Debra R.

The Untold Goodbyes...

To the sky, a gun was fired, A bird shot down, tangled on a wire, Bidding farewell, to the life he desired, He missed a beat, that the heart required. A frizzy worm fell, off his beak, A drizzle of hay, slipt from his feet, The flock flew away, with cries and screams, While baby bird in the nest, longed for his meal. That innocent soul, lifted into the skies, With desires, hopes, and baby bird in mind, The skies absorbed, the sorrows with sighs, And mourns reigned, for an untold good bye. Tear drops escaped, the eyes of the sky, Rain drops fell, on the nest so fragile, Baby bird wondered, why isn't dad on time, Until the nest fell off, while his broken heart cried. Lying on, the muddy floor, Looking up, he saw a door, That opened wide, with a bright glow, With four wings spread wide, and a cheerful hello. A sweet chirp said, "come darling let's go", Another said "Dads with you, our little fellow",...

Tomorrow's Mind...

Seated at my window, On a sunny Sunday, Bothering how, I'll survive the next day. The day flew by with nothing to say, No memories gathered for the day, With loads of worries blocking my way, There was nothing I did to live for today. The night flew by with regrets so great, Thoughts flew in the whole night so gray, Excitements of Friday has vanished away, Expectations of Friday was thrown away. I wondered how things went this way, What mattered was tomorrow and not today, This sudden thought just crossed my mind, What if I never had a tomorrow but only today. More thoughts just crossed my mind, The time I've wasted how will I find? The hills I could have climbed, When will I climb? We repeat this crime, We don't realize, We are trapped in this trap, Of tomorrow's mind. -Debra R. N. Ludwick-
