In Deep Thought

In deep thought as I walk The world passes me by, Then suddenly in a wink I sit down and begin to cry. To all my friends whom I said goodbye. In deep thought As I think, Memories begin to appear. Of all my friends Whom I said goodbye But suddenly, they now are here. As life came easy, Death came hard, As it's faith last played card. But then I smile For friends do die But their dreams die so hard. In deep verse As I speak, The words they leave my mouth, Of the memories that I thought Formed into a cloud, Shaped into a child. They sit at my feet And wisper in my ear The secrets of being young. But thern I smile For their secrets are known As my life becomes undone. In deep stress I finally confess Of secrets I once had held, I open up their door That has been locked before Being as deep as a wishing well. They come to the surface And they clear my mind My brain now knows no crime. But only that, of being alive. In deep wonder as I sit I begin to think and reflect For people do die And children do cry But their dreams will always live. And hopes they'll always give, In deep thought, as I think. Randy L.
