Poem For Anna

The skies so blue, and earth so green,
My thoughts and memories faded and grey,
To reminice of the places i've gone and been,
The path i had known has withered away,

As life i once thought was now long gone,
The protective shell of an innocent child,
Of my failures the lessons all are borne,
To face again the world so wild,

In a world where tears can turn to stone,
And fires of passion can turn to ice,
The child in me fears to the bone,
Of the future in life, full of malice,

My choices seem right, but yet so wrong,
The fates of life, hung by a thread,
Indecisive i am, but is it so wrong?
To fear outcomes of decisions gone bad,

But realize i did, that fear never answers,
It serves to mislead the unwary soul,
In my blindness i had let myself be mastered,
The pain echoed deep in my soul,

Perhaps in time i will yet learn,
Fate favors those who remain,
True to their path, and true to themselves,
Standing fast now to weather the rain.

For a great friend, with whom i have never met, but close as stars as to a moon in bloom..cheers!
