Gratitude
I am grateful for the sunrise,
The start of an early day
For the grey clouds are made golden,
When touched by sun's ray
I am grateful for that gentle breeze,
That soothes my heated body
The way it moves the trees, to dance,
As they sway their bodies
I am grateful for the singing birds
They sing so joyfully
You trust them with your heart, on wing
A flight of ecstasy
I am grateful for the little things
The songs I sing so mild
The laughter of little child
The tickles that drive her wild

Lost at Sea
Lost in a world that doesn't care
Floundering in a place that is, nowhere,
Never here, never there
Drowning in my own despair
Blackness has filled my heart,
My compass broken from the start,
No navigator, only the stars,
It is only me ,who can see my scars
You would not believe me,
I will tell the truth
You would struggle with the facts,
even with proof!
You see I'm in charge of this rogue ship
Full of liars, thieves and God knows what other shit!
Soon to be derelict, maiden voyage past,
A wallowing wreck, cracks in the mast,
Ropes frayed, sails torn
Not of this world, never born,
It won't be long till she meets the bottom,
With all hands, all that is rotten

Hi KianJust love your poetry my favourite was the gratitude, wouldn't the world be a better place if we all stopped and thought for a moment of all the beauty around us. Lost at sea excellent as well when we can arise from the darkness and come out to the Blue skies ahead and be greatful - Great work Kian - keep the writing up and all the best for the future - looking forward to reading morelove DiThanks Di!You are blessing!Your kind words and caring nature have guided many through their recoveries.Just as you have helped nurture me through mine.More poetry will flow, as rich as the gratitude and love, from which it spawns.Watch this space!Love Kian
