The Mind Reading Bee

The Mind Reading Bee

He buzzed as he quickly circled the hive;
I nervously watched; fear held my hand;
almost as though he were trying to decide;
whether to sting me, or land.

My friend stood perched on his ladder;
propped to the eaves, he was cleaning;
swatting the bee

Saving Daylight

Saving Daylight

Every problem has its own solution
eventually it will all solve itself;
we must not allow thought pollution,
to tinker with what’s on the shelf.

Most of us prefer to live in daylight;
night is our time to sleep;
since the sun goes down, causing night;

Reconstructing

Reconstructing

After wars; there’s a period of reconstruction;
for any kingdom is in constant conflict;
in the gap in-between; peace brings seduction;
and some leaders govern by edict.

What is it that makes one want to be king;

I Am The River Of Life

I Am The River Of Life

I am water from the river of life;
emptying into reality’s ocean;
fighting rapids of earthly strife;

God didn’t always promise peace;
for such is destiny; not means;
