Dreaming
In my dreams I was sat in a peaceful, sunny place
The light was perfect , you could feel the essence of nature
The warmth and pleasure were immense
In this dream I began to walk and came upon a lake
I was content to dabble my fingers in the water
Silken strands running between my fingers
I was in awe of the beauty of this landscape
The lush green grass tickled my feet as I wandered about
The smell of sweet meadow hay and the buzzing of the bees
Gave this place a charm all of its own
Too soon I was woken from my dream
I lay there in bed...
The light was perfect , you could feel the essence of nature
The warmth and pleasure were immense
In this dream I began to walk and came upon a lake
I was content to dabble my fingers in the water
Silken strands running between my fingers
I was in awe of the beauty of this landscape
The lush green grass tickled my feet as I wandered about
The smell of sweet meadow hay and the buzzing of the bees
Gave this place a charm all of its own
Too soon I was woken from my dream
I lay there in bed...

Wild Animals
I ask to borrow nothing
Of this life of broken dreams--
I breath, still
And call out to you
with My only thought
Knowing you're there is
enough, and still yourself
I know we shall be
Laughing once again
As we always did, remember?--
They'll never understand
If they don't by now
We are what we always were
Instinctively ourselves
Too stubborn to listen
To the horde
Keep your head above the
Rising tide
We'll sail into tomorrow,...

The Last Chance Lesson
This should be a time for Unity
For rebuilding the concept of community
For once we truly are all in this together
We are all clumped like birds of a feather
Unlike most people and most of all gods
This virus doesn't Judge it just marauds
It infects the high and mighty
The timid and the feisty
Muslims, Hindus and Christians
Those of other superstitions
Anyone can get this virus
This should be something to inspire us
To do much better as human beings
To rediscover our finer feelings
Relearning caring and kindness
Then...

A new day
I have to listen carefully
To myself in quiet isolation
In choosing where to hear
Of news given for what ends
My friend I need you to trust
Yourself and know I have your back
With little else but a toughened hide
And with blossoming love for you
The time has arrived, it's here
And recounting the population
In dwindling prosperity
We have each other
All we've ever had, really
Now we can celebrate in being
Reminded of this once again
For, it has been too long
We shall be...

Stars
We stood on the beach
In that twilight hour
And the stars
They gave us a sign
We laughed at your jokes
And mine were borrowed
From you and every other time
When we were always lost
Running from something
We were both born into
Rarely said but
Always knowing
When we fell out
Over someone else
We lived in regret for an eternity
Only to stand on the beach again
Where we always wanted
To be
But held back
From the clean air
The stars still...

We lived in regret for an eternity

These Are The Days
These are the days
When our faith is tried
When our hopes and dreams seem to fade away
It’s the unending journey
Of life lessons as a guide
When we return to our cores beliefs and pray
These are the days
When we look to the stars
With the belief something out there will come along
Humanity is at the fine line
Between peace and war
But it’s when we must learn to be resilient and strong
These are the days
When the spirit is tested
When our imagination lets us travel to any place
A time for reflection but...

songs of comfort
morning medley
“Each day is a little life: every waking and rising a little birth, every fresh morning
a little youth, every going to rest and sleep a little death.”—Arthur Schopenhauer
1
God has created a new day…
morning’s triumph over sleep
my cup of
consolation
before the noon sun
sips me
like bloody prey
i look not back
at nightmares i have ridden
saddleless
where bareback riders
fear to dream
2
silver and green and gold…
entice me from out of reach
far from my drooling...

IT IS THE PAST
They say that one's past can make you or break you but then if that's true, then how does one change their future if one continues to dwell within the depth of the past, and continues to accept that their past is the future. It's easy as mathematics adding and subtracting, for one must subconsciously clear your thoughts, even if it means you have to close many of still open doors that should of been closed long ago, even if it means to learn how to forgive them as well as thyself. For we can't continue to keep reliving in the past, with its hurt and pain and suffering along with heartaches,...

songs of comfort
give me a song
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you
are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.—Psalm 23:4 ESV
1
what can you say
to my soul
limping
under burdens
of epic notions
that i cannot
overcome
2
give me a song
beyond this commotion
that i might fashion an ocean
from domestic rations
for the calming
of my irate passions
3
give me a melody
of sweet devotion
that i might ease

Dear Friends
Distance matters so much less
when the heart is truly blessed
with dear friends that rise above
the detritus of life's flood
waters flowing from here to there
rewarding those who choose to dare
to feel something more than dread
wanting joy to fully spread
those of like mind that insist
that life asks more than to exist
beyond a day that labored work
with a wage that circles back
something more than this treadmill
is the gift that dear friends bring
breaking chains and floating hearts
before the cycles...

Persistent Entities
Like Tedstus himself, who has no human mind, and breaks down, burns, expands, or decreases by the size of a respirator, his mind is set on the beach and eager to find radio silence. They have discovered new technologies. They find ancient creatures.
They find an artificial sun.
In the past, such changes in the vicinity of the tract were more sun-kissed at the Red Bay Club than any of the original ones. Some were visiting from other locations. Others have meaning from the beginning of life. The planets are placed around them, and they are inserted into the...

New Venusport, 2400 AD
Two hundred years later the men who were brought in secret by Calvery came back to the door.
The most recent ones spoke to newscast economist Noah Koe. They have no idea what they are coming from or how much they can get. They have no idea how to identify themselves. They find that money is available to spend. They came in. They started the war. Five of the aliens encountered in the galaxy were also recruited and called in the sixth.
So they quarreled with each other.
After all this, bad behavior is the end of security, an example in nature. Space...
