Hear the sound of your heart. It will never lie.

Today I Listened
October 30, 2011Today I listened
To the sound
Of Heaven and Earth
Trying to expound
All the things I left behind
In the middle, centre mind.
Not so nice
Not so dear
But surely held in the fear
Someone else find me out
Or those of us
Would hear about.
Yes, I know I shouldn’t call
Then today I heard the sound
Of Heaven and Earth
trying to expound
Hell on Earth
And bring it down.

Blazing Colors Herald Fall
October 27, 2011Blazing colors herald fall
No more lazy days for us to recall
Building sandcastles at the beach
Just woolly sweaters
Frosty breath soon to see
While antlered heads rankle
Strong with desire
Chipmunks store, rush about
Then contently sleep beneath
A frosty blanket made of snow
Hills of brilliant color, fading light
See progression as salmon fight
Up the rivers late in to the night
This is fall, blazing colors herald it all.

This Is It, This Is All
October 26, 2011This is it, this is all
Come meet me at the mall
I will call, I will see
All that matters
There, in front of me.
Journeys long, journeys short
This is it, this is all
Come meet me at the mall
See the glory, see the trite
Be the winner with no spite.
Know that all has a right
To live the best this very night
This is it, this is all
Come meet me at the mall.

A Monster Lives Deep Beneath
October 25, 2011A monster lives deep beneath
Surging up with saddened grief
Making all ponder where to go
Melancholy persons reaching out
Filled with disbelief that
No remorse can ever share
Feel me now feeling bad
Fill me up with sadness glad
A monster lives deep within
Changing color on a whim.

Monday Morning Comes And Rises
October 24, 2011
Monday morning comes and rises
Bringing with it all surprises
We may expect to see A
But instead are confronted with Z
This is right, this is real
Embrace it all with lots of zeal.
Clouds may thunder, pound and steal
In the end they just heal
Parched earth thirsty for the rain
Pouring down once again
This is right, this is real
Embrace it all with lots of zeal.
Accept what Monday morning brings
To you, be it good or bad
Know it’s come not to make you sad
But grow and thrive
This is right, this is real
Embrace it all from A to zeal.

We Are Here Alone
October 22, 2011We are here alone.
Sometimes with others but still alone.
Like yourself.
Even love and nurture yourself because that’s who will always be there.

Curl Up And Sleep
October 21, 2011Curl up and sleep
Sleep to rest and be the best
Better than all the rest
Of the magnificent innocents
Conquering their mighty
Quests in their sleep.
Curl up and sleep
To dream.

The Current Prognosis Is Dim
October 20, 2011
The current prognosis is dim
Rain, more rain and then rain
Roof leaking
Raging river in the eavestrough
Basement flooded
Walkway a flood plain
Rain, more rain and then rain.
Build an ark, fly a plane
Off to some high, dry plain
Rain, more rain and then rain.
The mood shifts
Clouds part
Sun beams rays of warmth
Down upon drying pools
Of scattered rain
No more rain, no more rain
Blessed be the sun’s rays
Drying up the clouds rain.
