Discovery

Discovery

by Lord R.e. Taylor

Take a walk deep into a forest

Don’t ever follow a trail

That would be no fun

Instead, just walk wherever

The Fates will always control you

You may find something hiding

Something which may not be remembered

It may not have been seen in forever

But, lucky you, you have found it

You will see the beauty in its loneliness

Take time to look at it

Explore everything it has to offer

Please do not reveal where it hides

Let others share your thrill of discovery

And see the beauty that someone left behind

Freedom?

Freedom?

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Despite what they tell you

Freedom is never given

They will let you think you can use it

But they really don’t want you to know

They can take it away at their whim

Not just for you but everyone in their country

You will not be able to argue the loss

Their troops will make sure you are silent

It has happened before and it will again

That is something you know you don’t want

And that is something that the world doesn’t deserve

A Green Christmas

A Green Christmas

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Everyone wanted a white Christmas.

There was snow the week before

A lot of snow coating the ground

And gripping onto the pine needles

But on December twenty-third, things changed

The spirits in the South thought better

They sent tropical breezes our way

Every flake of snow melting

Leaving only tears on every needle

As well as in the eyes of everyone around

Yet, everyone celebrated their green Christmas

And they still had their “Merry Christmas”

An Unending Love

An Unending Love

By Lord R.e. Taylor

It is so hard to find love

Especially that special kind

Where they endlessly watch for you

Smiling and jumping up and down

Even before you reach the door

True, they don’t have the ability to vocalize it

But Nature gave them so many other ways to say it

They smile all the time with their mouth or their eyes

Either way, you cannot help but smile back

They run and jump into our laps as soon as we sit

While they kiss every inch of our face

Having a friend like that is the best love you can have

That love will last for their entire life

And in our memories for ours
