"Those Seeds" Once my grandma told me, a story about her life. How she became a woman, and how she became a wife. She said it wasn't easy, and times weren't always good. She might regret a few things, but she did the best she could. She told me that the best thing, you could give your child, was to teach them independence, so they could go the mile. Now that I'm a mother, I think about what she said. And I never will forget, those seeds planted in my head. A. Pilley © 2005 All Rights Reserved

"Glistening Waters" At the edge of the glistening waters, she sits, and gazes at the simple beauty. Each small wave sparkling, as the breeze moves.... each and every glistening rainbow of light. She thinks then, if she were a glimmering, starry eyed, soft undulation of water, would she glisten so bright with brilliance? The radiance of a thousand stars, the wonder of a million souls. Would she, if only for a moment; shine as luminous as thee? A. Pilley © 2006 All Rights Reserved

"Drank Her Everything Away" Drunken fears, and drunken words, are all I get from you. One minute, you are shining, the next you are so blue. your mind, so undecided, about everything in this place. your confusion, of your family, even your life and faith. Strikes me, harsh and odd, childlike ignorance is what I see. Will you, ever be the person, I one knew you to be? Or have you, slowly...day by day, drank her everything away? A.

Cold Reality Through many eyes you will see, a cold reality. One of disproportions, uncertain wheels of fortunes. Hidden vanities, alarming subtleties. Moments so delirious, so precarious. So much resentment, predicament. Pompous actions, frivolous passions. Bad habits and addictions, endless contradictions. Always unsatisfied, quickly running out of time. A. Pilley
