A Vacant Lot

What if life were a vacant lot;
no grasses or trees abound;
a surface made of igneous rock;
and no life within it, found?

Trees and flowers; only a dream;
and birds; mere imagination;
nothing at all; fit reality’s scheme;
for Thought had gone on vacation.

No rivers existed;

A Son Of The Sage

The face I saw in the mirror;
was unfamiliar to me;
and the voice others could hear,
was strange; who could it be?

The book of life; turned movie;
renders photos of us to see;
and it certainly might behoove me;
to believe it’s a picture of me.

Circle Of Life

How precious can it ever be;
that marvelous gift of sight;
enabling each of us to see;
a meadow of sheer delight.

The sun nearly blinds the eyes;

We were created with freedom of choice;
by an omnipotent, omniscient Master;
but faced with another demonic voice;
the choice we made, was disaster.

there’s nothing else for me to write.
I’m still weighted down by a heavy load;
with no battles remaining to fight.

Slowly I’m trudging through each day;
my efforts have become merely token;
I’m seeking
