Celebrating Friends: A Heartfelt Ode

I will cherish the friends I have today,
And know that they will always be there.
Through every storm and changing tide,
They walk beside me, side by side.
Their presence is a steady beacon in the dark,

A comforting warmth, a creative spark.
So let us raise a glass to friendship,
And all the joy it brings.
To the laughter shared in brighter days,
And paths that guide our different ways.
We toast to the secrets told late at night,

And the bonds that keep our spirits light.
To the friends we have, and those we’ve lost,
May we always be close.
Though time and distance may divide,
Their memory stays safe inside.
No matter where the road of life may lead,
A true friend is a treasure indeed.

The Quiet Night

/ Nancy Ann Creed / Leave a comment

The Quiet Night

A struggle to belong, to find my place,
Stumbling through life, mistakes I embrace.
Blunders and missteps, a shadow they cast,
Day after day, the die seems to be cast.

Disliked, an outsider, I feel it so deep,
Friendly smiles, a facade I can’t keep.
Loneliness lingers, a constant despair,
Do they truly care, is anyone there?

Grappling with doubt, uncertainty’s sting,
What am I doing wrong, what sorrow I bring?
Isolation suffocates, a heavy embrace,
Is solitude’s path the one I must chase?

Different, I may be, a truth hard to face,
Do I belong here, in this crowded space?
Perhaps it’s time to accept what’s in sight,
A solitary journey, into the quiet night.

The Haunting Obsession

The Haunting Obsession


It occupies my vision,
A phantom on the breeze,
The only sound I hear,
A lingering disease.

It hollows out my thoughts
And commands the quiet night;
I cannot sleep or eat,
Obliterating light.

I’m obsessed and possessed,
A willing, broken prize,
I harbor the infection
Behind my staring eyes.

It suffocates the air,
A heavy, rising tide.
I’m losing who I am
With nowhere left to hide.

I scream for an escape,
A way to break the spell,
But I am just a ghost
Inhabiting this hell.
