I wonder sometime
If its me or the mind
To concede that the majestic
Are in control of the sublime.
Don’t see the irony
Nor the rhyme
In this that could be called
A lesson on time.

There it is. Feel their power. Feel their strength. Take comfort in their solitude and joy. You’re not alone, ever.

Trouble focusing,
Frustrated and sad.
Even could say
I’m very mad.
Mad in the sense
It doesn’t make
My mortal self comprehend
All at stake.
Maybe if I was a God,
A princess or duke,
I’d understand all and
Have nothing to rebuke.
But I’m none
Of the above,
So understand, acknowledge
And love.
When its right,
When you need to know,
All will be clear
And under control.

Memory saves the forgetful in time of desperate need, ever reminding us of a soul in harmony with the universe.

The calming effect of solitude is beneficial in all aspects of my existence.

What a beautiful time
In a wonderful way
To bring forth autumn
On a sunny spring day.
Nothing is steadfast
Ever changing with sway
Making me wonder
Just what did I do today?
Mosey on over
Smile and say “Howdy partner
Have you seen autumn
On this sunny spring day?”
Nothing will happen
No one will say
“Mind your own business”
In an ever changing, wondrous way.
Folks are pleasant, mild and say
“Never mind the forecast
We’ll know by day
That the weather is changing
In a beautiful, wondrous way.”

I’m here for all eternity. As we all have been. We pass from one phase to another in a life never ending.
