Re: Roberts poems (part 1)
I had a nice surprise today
A friend made me a cake
It wasn’t just any old one
It was one dear Doreen baked
Doreen’s cakes are such a treat
They cheer me when im blue
And though these days we seldom meet
I often think of you.
Your home is such a loving place
And all made welcome there
Love is written across your face
You are someone who cares
Yet life is not a breeze for you
Life’s woes you’re had your share
With care comes pain and suffering too
And life can seem unfair.

RED, ORANGE, YELLOW, GREEN,BLUE
Oh why so very sad and blue
Lost, forlorn and anxious too
When joy has gone and life is rough
Hope alone is not enough
Don’t ask for signs or dreams or visions
They can’t be seen and won’t be given.
In your present place, trailing along
Something’s missing, something’s wrong
INDIGO
A mood forlorn
Has something gone
I stand amazed
Landscape razed
VIOLET
Violet, my mother’s middle name
Add the letter “n” and she became
Violent every now and then
Let fly, calm down, then rage again
She really was a caring mother
I can’t compare, I had no other
She tried to do the best she could
In quiet moments I understood

Re: Roberts poems (part 1)
I shot an arrow into the air
A dangerous thing to do
Even so I boldly dared
New venture s to pursue
I am a man of modest ways
And means you could say too
But what a scene I stood amazed
At the lofty arrow heads view
Hey you down there
Yes I am talking just to you
Life is to affirm and share
With friends and family too
The air up here is rare and clear
No crouching shadows for us to fear
No petty feuds, or false offence
Just love and joy and commonsense
Way up here is supreme release
from things which take away our peace
I wish you all could see what I’ve seen
How shall I describe where can I begin
There is no time there
No minutes hours
No bells no chimes
Carpets of flowers
No want no waste
No hunger or thirst
No ears, no haste
No voice to converse
No spiteful tongue
To spread unrest
All hate is gone
When East meets west
Alas and alack
The arrow fell back
With it came reality
For now its back to best and worst
that’s what it now seems to be
For now, life is a mystery
Our lives are just a passing thing
And we have our part to play
Be glad run and dance and sing
Life for living full each day
A dangerous thing to do
Even so I boldly dared
New venture s to pursue
I am a man of modest ways
And means you could say too
But what a scene I stood amazed
At the lofty arrow heads view
Hey you down there
Yes I am talking just to you
Life is to affirm and share
With friends and family too
The air up here is rare and clear
No crouching shadows for us to fear
No petty feuds, or false offence
Just love and joy and commonsense
Way up here is supreme release
from things which take away our peace
I wish you all could see what I’ve seen
How shall I describe where can I begin
There is no time there
No minutes hours
No bells no chimes
Carpets of flowers
No want no waste
No hunger or thirst
No ears, no haste
No voice to converse
No spiteful tongue
To spread unrest
All hate is gone
When East meets west
Alas and alack
The arrow fell back
With it came reality
For now its back to best and worst
that’s what it now seems to be
For now, life is a mystery
Our lives are just a passing thing
And we have our part to play

Life for living full each day

CLOUDS
Last night the clouds spoke to me
You might well ask how can that be?
I saw them in a different light
As the day turned slowly into night.
Last night the clouds spoke to me
High in the air moving effortlessly
What unseen power holds them there
I gaze in wonder up in the air
Last night the clouds they spoke to me
High in the sky and floating free
Grazing idly like a flock of sheep
Unseen shepherd has watch to keep
The clouds spoke of wonder and scale
Of human efforts that fade and pale
When compared to creations might
“Where were you when I created light”
The clouds went on the truth to display
The sun comes up new every day
No amount of fretting by your self
Can ever bring you peace and health
I hope the clouds will speak tomorrow
Explain to me the worlds joy and sorrow
Why it keeps on turning then
Repeats itself, again & again
