So I sit here and reflect

M.A.D. Works
reflect

I sit here and reflect,
We used to be close,
Will we ever get that back?
Only time will tell, I suppose.

Memories linger like whispers in the air,
Laughter shared, secrets bare,
But distance grows with every day,
Will the path to you fade away?

I think of the moments, the dreams we spun,
The light-hearted jokes, the races we’d run.
Yet shadows creep in, doubt starts to swell,
In the silence between us, a story we can’t tell.

But hope lies dormant, waiting for its cue,
Like the dawn that breaks after the night’s dark hue.
Perhaps one day we’ll find our way,
And rediscover the bond that time can’t fray.

So I sit here and reflect,
With a heart full of wishes, a soul to connect,
For though life may twist like a winding road,
I’ll hold onto your memory, like a precious ode.

Boring Town Ballad

M.A.D. Works

In a town where the folks found it boring,
They danced to the sound of their snoring.
With a yawn and a sigh,
They waved dreams goodbye,
And entertained thoughts that were soaring!

Your challenge for this week

  • Just when the silence felt overwhelming, a sudden rustle in the underbrush caught the attention of a wandering soul.

In a Blink

M.A.D. Works


In a blink, the world can shift, treasures fall like autumn’s drift.
What you held, both bright and near, can vanish, leaving silence clear.

The laughter fades, the echoes still, dreams dissolve against the will. Hands once full now grasp the air, reminding hearts of what’s not there.

Yet in the loss, a seed is sown, to teach the soul what can be grown.
For though the moment may be gone, its shadow lingers, carrying on.

Echoes of Absence

M.A.D. Works
Slip Away

Unknowingly, you slipped away.
What did I do wrong? What could I have done
to make you stay?
All I ever wanted was to feel needed and seen.
I thought I had that with you,
but I was wrong yet again.
Will I ever find that connection,
or is it a dream just out of reach?
In the silence, I search for answers,
wondering if love can be genuinely returned.
Will I always be left with echoes of absence,
lost in the longing for what might have been?

Chuck the Stuck Cow

M.A.D. Works
Three Things Challenge #MM236

Your final three words for this week are:
STUCK
CLUCK
CHUCK

There once was a cow named Chuck
Who seems to be stuck, oh what luck!
In the mud he did tread,
With a loud moo he said,
“I’d rather be clucking like a duck!”

Preparation

M.A.D. Works
preparation

Preparation is what’s needed
To accomplish what you hope,
With each small step and steady aim,
You’ll find your way, you’ll learn to cope.

Each moment spent in focus clear
Builds the path that leads you on;
With courage in your heart, my dear,
Your dreams will wake with each new dawn

Whispers of Change

M.A.D. Works
host

In my mind, the thoughts reside,
Hosting echoes, hard to bide.
For years they’ve danced, both dark and bright,
I work each day to find the light.

Rewiring paths, a steady quest,
Though struggles rise, I do my best.
With every dawn, new hope I find,
Improvements bloom within my mind.

Challenges, Poetry

Appearance

M.A.D. Works
appearance

Now you make an appearance,
Where were you when I needed you the most?
In shadows deep, where silence sings,
I wandered alone, a desolate ghost.

Each echo of laughter, a bittersweet rhyme,
The moments we shared now drift far away.
I reached for your hand through the barriers of time,
But you turned a blind eye, lost in the fray.

I gathered my courage, I built up my dreams,
But storms rolled in, and they tore me apart.
Now you’re here with your comforting gleams,
Yet I’m left to mend this once-fractured heart.

Still, hope flickers like candles in night,
Perhaps we can stitch what was worn and frayed.
With patience and kindness, let’s set things right,
In the warmth of your presence, I won’t be afraid.

So linger a while, let shadows disperse,
Together, we’ll find the light in the dark.
In a world full of questions, in this universe,
Your return is the spark that ignites a new arc.
