REALITY

Painting Life

This life that we’re in; is our clean slate;
an empty canvas; upon which we paint;
the path we walk; both narrow and straight;
a realm of freedom; and self-restraint.

All the ground, we see, beneath our feet;
illusions of our thoughts above;
where consciousness and destiny

Left To Lament

The world is floundering; our agony grows;
our silence has become assent;
reaping the whirlwind; a generation, sows;
the righteous are left to lament.

The rich and famous, live like fatted cattle;
paying little or no attention to the masses;
while the war mongers, love to sabre

Kiss Of Dreams

I looked into your eyes of yesterday;
lovers; many lifetimes, ago;
my thoughts slowly became today;
how could a dead love grow?

except it makes us grow old.

Whatever gave time top billing;
it’s more than time deserves;
time always requires fullfilling;
our purpose, it rarely serves.

when reality seems destined to succumb;
persistance commands we dance.
