Echoes of Silence

M.A.D. Works

Flow of words are gone
Don’t know where they have gone to.
Need them to come back,
In silence, echoes of thought,
Whispers of the heart remain.

Whimsical Potato and Tomato Patch

M.A.D. Works

In a patch, a potato met a tomato,
Said the potato, “You red thing, you’re quite a hero!”
The tomato replied, “And you, my friend, are the best spud,
Together in this patch, we make the perfect dud!”

Echoes of a Love Lost

M.A.D. Works


In love’s dance, we once soared so high,
But now it’s just whispers and sighs.
With memories so dear,
Yet sadness draws near,
A shadow where once dreams would fly.

Mindful Moment

Cleaning centers the brain on one task at a time. It is made up of mechanical and rhythmic motions, Open the windows and allow the fresh air to flow into the room. Then focus on one room, task, or corner to clean

Poetry

A Smile 😊

M.A.D. Works

A smile takes less energy, they say
It has the power to brighten someone’s day.
Spreading joy and warmth in every way.
It can chase the clouds and bring out the rays.

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?
