I know not when death will come
No banshee cry or knock on the door
It creeps and crawls, a steady hum
upon the stoop, beneath the floor
A future that I can not reverse
nor prepare myself with dying fear
A calling that comes so perverse
When it whispers "someday is near"
The final bell must always toll
An indeterminent fate of my misgiving
Death comes early to achieve it's goal.
In life if I choose to stop living

Time is of the essence
We have made it so
But other than the present
It's something we don't know
So much time in the past
The future not so much
Living from the first to last
Ignores the present and such
The meaning is not asking when
When yesterday is just time spent
Gone are things that have been
When asking where the time went
Times only meaning it seems
Is the here and now
For life is not in our dreams
of the past and future, somehow

The green of the grass,
The blue of the sky
The smell of ocean air
The smile of a passerby
Brown patches on dead grass
Dark clouds hanging in the sky
Odors that reek of the onerous
Tears that come without a cry
It's the choice that we make
Painting pictures of the whole
That can be seen in the mind's eye
or created from a tormented soul

Wrote this in response to Fresh's Glimmerings LOL
thought I'd like to save it
Lifes tides.....Ebb and flow
Do I come?.....Do I go?
Does not matter.....For I have will
Standing alone.....Not standing still
Caught somewhere.....In twilight's breach
Between anticipation and my memory's reach
What's seems gone.....Has not passed
All tides roll in.....First to last

A star shines bright
beyond the milky way
Where day cannot change night
and Magic and moonbeams stay
Somewhere there is a bridge
which spans an ocean wide
that brings hearts together
never takes them for a ride
Somewhere there is a time
with no time at all
tomorrow is today
no expectations or recall
Somewhere there is no illness
that can blacken ones soul
No pain and no suffering
The mind and body whole
Somewhere there are arms
that hold you while in bed
Somewhere there is a chest
upon which to lay your head
Somewhere there is a beach
A shared shore on a distant land
Where waves never say goodbye
and tides won't wash away the sand
Somewhere there is a Mermaid
not lost in a sea
Frolicking in the heather
with no cares of destiny

Vantage Point

The hills roll to the sea
earthen waves of greenery
Upon the mountain one can see
all the glory, all the majesty
There's greater heights and more to do
On this trek you cannot stop
The goal to achieve the best view
From the peak of the mountaintop
Pause from your ambitious climb
Look back from whence you came
Heights don't make the view sublime
When the vantage points are the same

Train for Life

Overwhelming desire to get where you're goin
Not asking why or what you're doin
Just board the train to get somewhere
Because it seems, you don't want to be here.
All the destinations seem to pass you by
And then all you're doin is asking yourself why
But, the train keeps rollin, can't stop destiny
And where your goin, you don't want to be

Ah! first rose of morn, do tell
What bee's do lorn, I cannot smell
Soft petals of beauty, gorgeous pink
I feast my eyes and begin to think......
That somewhere inside
There's so much more,
You choose to hide
So for now, I will enjoy
Just your sight to consume
And hope that someday, I too
Will smell your sweet perfume

Rainy night
Somewhere to go
Alone in my car
My life in tow
The purr of the engine
Wheels rumble along
Voices on the radio
or maybe a song
Can't seem to listen
as the raindrops call
Lights and signs glisten
between the wiper's fall
Roadmaps to survey
of people and places
of trials and tribulations
and mirrored faces
The rearview mirror
says where I have been
Yet I keep driving
back over it again
It's a simple reflection
From the glass on the road
It's a mere deflection
Attempt to lessen life's load
Then passed by a semi
and splattered with rain
Driven back to reality
Going somewhere, again
To check my gauges
Make sure the lights on
Hearing the radio sounds
that once seemed gone
Seeing the road up ahead
Not knowing which way I go
Yet, somewhere in my cluttered head
I think, I know

My thought of the day......
The only way women can win, in the battle of the sexes, is to be good at pretending to lose!
