Only God knows...

Why the red of a blooming rose has no peer;

What makes a cloud shaped like a lion in the sky appear?

Only God knows...

Why hearts break, and the stars, every night, seem to cry from the ache;

How do you endure when love does not reciprocate?

What can you do as you watch the wind blow all your dreams away?

When will loneliness stop being my closest friend?

Who will be by my side at the end?

Will the beauty of this life remain yet to be shown?

Where did all the time that was mine go?

Only God knows...

About Me

About me

C.M.Reeves...I have been writing poems continuously since early February this year. I have 85 now and still going!
I am 75 and a retired therapist and theater
director. I enjoy staging a story now with words in verse.
There is a signal for poetry for which I am definitely a vessel and open to receiving...nearly daily, though I am new to it.
Nothing is published. I'm just looking for a place for it to potentially land other than Facebook, where I have been posting them in a profile I call Moments of Time in Rhyme.
I have come to love this art form, and I hope to spend what's left of my life pursuing it.

Location: Sacramento CA USA, USA
