There was a brief
and shining spot
That for a time
was surely Camelot
Mourning In Camelot
Ere now the shades
of night are falling
The minstrals do stroll
sadly calling
No place here
I find to rest my head
For want of pride
they have sold my bed
In different directions
the knights do ride
And with them
my heart does bide
I bow my head
and I sincerely pray
The sun may rise
in Camelot another day

Inner Self
Somewhere
in the forests
of my mind
lives
a gentler soul
of another kind
One not so heated
by the past
One whose tempers
do not last
She
sings
of happy times
And stays
where the ivy twines
She forgets yesterday
into tomorrow
happily
running
She finds her way
With herself bringing
sounds of happiness
and of birds singing
If I let her
free
Would she be able
to survive like me
In the forest she`ll
have to stay
not coming out
until a kinder day
Gentle things, you see
need to be protected
in this society
She`ll have to hide
and be kept
from the rain
A sensitive soul not able
to deal with the pain
She`ll have to wait
where there
is no hate
In the shelter of inner self
She`ll have to hide
For she owns no
armour to wear outside

Poetic Path
My soul is a hunter
Searching for solace
Lost in the night
Always seeking solace
It
is somewhere ahead
Always just out of sight
I search in your words
For the path that is right
And follow it,I
may
Fool that is me, trusting
Not to be led astray

Passage of time
Red sun’s sinking under a cloud-layered
sky
Another day is done and evening has begun
Days are quicker than the blink of an eye
Faster than the wind, the
hours seem to run
I have put away the impatience of yesterday
Now I beg for time to slow and the days to stay
The
Young cannot know how fast time can flee
Only Age that can see each hour leads to eternity

Rainbow Rising
There is a rainbow rising
presenting it`s self to me
A benediction after
the rain
there in all it`s beauty to see
To ease my torment and pain
To the heavens I look up
And marvel at not only rain
in
my old chipped cup
Love is in there too
Respect and friendship
I have needed it,God knew
And
when all is on the brink
I will lift the cup and drink

Time
Time is the cure
Time is the healer
Time changes all
The mountains moved
The rivers carved
The face of the world appeared
...In time

Estate
What is left when we are gone
Only the rags that we have owned
We cannot take them when we go on
We must be remembered by love alone
Love only can live on here
All else will only disappear
They can carve our names in stone
Love can still live in flesh and bone
So when my name in stone you see
Remember the love I had for thee
Take this love left for I am gone
Pass it on so that I may live on
İFaye Sizemore October252002
Sunset
...Dawn...
Life is but
A fleeting echo
Fleeing on the wind
A blazing of a star
That the blinking
Of an eye may miss
Like a tiny grain of sand
Through time`s own hour glass
As time weaves quickly
So is the thread of our life
As life is done
Seems only just begun
So time does come to an end
....Dusk....
The sun does set

For My Sister on the loss of her Husband
Steven Hyde 
Shadows Owed
Midnight hours in the shadows, I see
Shapes of
those long gone before me
Stretching out their hands they plead
They bade me follow where they lead
Until the dawn, I hold them all at bay
And silently as they came, they go away
They follow you; they plead to you
The good deeds that you didn’t do
If a chance is passed to help someone, it’s true
In the shadows someday they may wait for
you
Changing their shapes in my sight,
Good deeds not done are the color of night
If there was now a way to atone
The shadows might leave me alone
Some night as the moon rises over the tree
The shadows may get the better of me
If I’m not here in the morning
Just let this be my warning,
Never pass up a chance to do a good deed
Then there will be no shadows to plead
My friend, listens, and heed
Do not go where the shadows lead
Do not follow where I have gone
It is to a place where you can’t atone

A Parting
Good bye Uncle Mow
Laura`s father`s brother
You were loved as no other
Though the time has come to part
You will always remain
in her heart
You have just gone on before
To wait just beyond the door
And though today she is so sad
Knowing you
wait makes her glad
She prayed for God to lessen your pain
God saw fit and her loss is
heaven`s gain
Laura, God has blessed you, it is true
For he has beloved
angels waiting for you
What a joyous day it will be
When again all our loved
Ones we shall
see
For Laura Anne DiRenzi

Gifts
I was once honored to know a man
One of the very
most very dear
I`ve ever known in this land
I was so luckyfor he was a friend to me
Never knowing him I`d be poor
you see
He always greeted each day at dawn`s first light
So that nothing that day would escape his sight
And from
him I learned how very sacred was all
From the beauty in the fields and marshes
To the lovely lonliness in a dove`s
call
Unmindful as time passed us by
We watched geese against a fall sky
He took pains to point out to me
The importance
in the helping of a friend
How it all comes back to you at the end
The things I would need to know
As on life`s journey
I did go
The wonderful beauty of the winter skies
And how to read signs in peoples eyes
How to be patient and so
to catch a fish
And how then to turn it into a great dish
We had many adventure in his little dory
He always took
time to listen to a sad story
And at the end his advice was always sage
Before I knew it he was of great age
How I cried the day he died
He said he was an anthesist
But
I think that he lied...

Dad,I miss you...
Legacy
In the dust of memory
I
write my name
hoping someday
someone
will know
that this way I came
Time will cover
the tracings in the dust
The time does come to leave
Go along I must
I will be happy
from up above
if all will just remember
that I did love
I loved my friends
who did walk with me
in my strife
I loved the soldier
who laid down
his very life
my peace secured even above
was bought with blood
and so had been insured
How could I not love
