The Fly

© Anne-Marie Brzezinski (2014)

A fly flew by

It had to die

On where it went

I kept my eye

It flew up high

It flew nearby

My deft attempts

It did defy

It flew the hall

Then had the gall

To fly inside

The shower stall

While on the wall

It seemed to call

I did not like

That fly at all!

The fly, you see,

It flew with glee

As if it tried

To torment me

I heard no plea

To be set free

Its death would come

With certainty

A fly flew by

It had to die

On where it went

I kept my eye.

Have you ever felt untitled?

...a thought that’s not complete

...a book without a cover

...a secret that’s discreet

...a painting non-descriptive

...an average with no mean

...an answer undiscovered

...a person who’s unseen

There’s more to life than meets the eye
There is so much that’s concealed
It’s difficult to find yourself
In a future unrevealed

So take each moment as it comes

Find a blessing every day

Embrace the good; learn from the bad

Cast your regrets far away

In time you’ll come to know yourself

As your view of life matures

You’ll feel like you’re a winner, yet

The title was always yours!

Mother, dear, the joy you felt

My birth, it filled your heart

Inspire those who seek the Truth

Their peace, it will not part

Mother, dear, the pain you felt

My death, it caused such grief

Console those in their time of need

Their hurt, bring it relief

Mother, dear, the hope they feel

For life, it doesn't end

Comfort those who hear my Word

Their souls, I will attend
