Mary's Poetry
This poem is dedicated to Mary's children, Cynthia and Jeff
|
Wish you were here I
can just see her, walking on the shores of heaven |
These are some poems/songs that were written by Mary Stuart and
taken from Mary's book "Both of Me" ...
I live my life in a moment,
the moment of my years,
A grain of sand on a beach so wide;
and ever the mighty ocean tide,
Sweeps away the footprints of each passerby,
So very small am I.
Sweet is to lie
Upon a grassy hillside,
Close my eyes and feel
A sun that's shining everywhere.
It warms a world that
every blade of grass can share.
For a whistler on a windride,
It is lonely, lonely there.
A thrill to fly
Alon ga strange new highway,
Birds are going my way,
Wind fingers in my hair.
I'm flying by,
Music trails behind goes
Blowing through my mind knows
It's lonely, lonely there.
Cynthia lives in a yellow balloon
full of sunlight, sunlight.
She sees the world through a yellow balloon,
shining bright.
In her yellow balloon, when it thinks it's
the moon, she goes flying by,
You can't tell a balloon,
When it thinks it's the moon,
You're too high.
Cynthia lives in a yellow balloon
full of starlight, star bright.
She says we all live in different balloons,
and she's right. Yes, she's right.
When her yellow balloon is the sun and the moon,
she goes flying by.
You can't tell a balloon
that's the sun and the moon
You're too high.....I wouldn't try.
A gentle wind blows where my Cynthia glows
in the sky.
I used to see a mountain, rising soft and blue,
When everything was easy and all I had to do
Was step across the shadowline
to make a soft blue mountain mine,
And I was sure of you.
I don't recall how many times we reached
to touch the sky,
We ran to catch a rainbow, but we never could;
No one told me why.
I don't recall how many times
the two of us have tried
To float across the river in a box of wood.
But I know I cried, how many times I cried.
I still can see the mountain, rising soft and blue,
The climbing wasn't easy, but what I know is true;
The mountain rising far away is made of rock
it's cold and gray,
And I'm not sure of you.
No, I'm not sure of you.
Looking out my window,
when the sun is shining high,
I can see a sparrow flying by; and a breeze,
I can see it bend the trees.
People come, people go,
Some I've never seen before,
But they live behind each door.
They're part of me, my reality
Is the place I see.
Looking out my window,
when the moon is shining white,
I can see the yellow squares of light.
Dark and still, just beyond my window sill
Shadows come, shadows go.
Then my window, as I pass, as become
a looking-glass.
My face I see; my reality
Inside of me.
