Still Life

Its so quiet here now
Where hours ago was laughter and song
It seems strange to say
To watch silence and shadows
This Still life
I walk slowly through life
Its a minefield, I"m wary of strife
Jelousy,envy,ego, greed
Things blow up for no reason
The tongue is a fire
That starts an inferno for a season
Seasons change, but my world
Always seems to get colder
I am treading through a minefield it seems
Did I make someone mad or sad or glad
Wandering, wondering
Running from things that bring joy
People and laughter.
I wonder what I do
To upset, to placate,to endure
Sadness, gladness,madness
So confusing
I am the author of my life
Yet fate and chaos
Is always there
