Nobody ever wonders...

Jan 17 9:30 pm!

Slowly the flowers fade away,

Slowly their soul dries...

And nobody ever wonders,

Why softly the swallow cries!

Silently the clouds gather,

And silently the mist forms...

And nobody ever wonders,

What caused the thunder storm!

Swiftly the dark arrives,

Swiftly the light is lost...

And nobody ever wonders,

How great was the cost!

My roles!

My roles...

Jan 16 2:00 pm

When the hours of the day will slip away,

I will cry to my pillow tonight!

When I have played the role I have chosen to play,

I will cease for a while to fight!

I will give up the pretense for little while,

For on the morrow I must bravely smile!

I will forget to play by the many rules,

And retreat to the paradise reserved for fools!

Yes, I shall cry, shall mourn, shall weep...

And my every tear in your soul shall seep....

I will throw the chains of benefit aside,

And for a moment small flow with the tide!

Then I shall wake with the rising Sun,

I shall brush aside all hurt, all fear,

And with the earth I shall move as one,

That has never cried, nor known a tear!

The teacher!

The teacher!

Armed with knowledge...

Claims to fame from far,

The pedagogue prunes sans mercy,

Aims to heal last, first scar!

Alone, firmly he holds!

The key to galaxies galore,

Riddles rule the roost,

As the minds swoop and soar!

With an all seeing eye,

He oversees the fall...

Of vices deep rooted,

And pride standing tall!

In it's place he plants,

Seeds of the seeking mind,

One that all it's aims,

In truth's shadows does bind!

And having questioned,

Questions once more...

The pursuer, the creator 

Of facts, fiction, folklore!

So slowly this creation,

Leaves his creator behind...

The pedagogue's first defeat,

His first victory enshrined!

The thorn!

Jan 14 11:15 pm

At first a thought,

Of all loving shorn...

Soon a terrible storm,

Blots out the morn!

Hurt breeding hurt,

By pure love borne...

The dream's the nightmare,

And life's forlorn!

Agonies' first gift, 

Pure hurt is born...

Deceit unfeigned...

Tales of the thorn!!!

The way to be...

Live the idea,

Love the dream...

Fight the waves,

Go upstream!

Fight realities,

With even half a chance...

If you can't be the music,

Try to be the dance!

Cracked, smashed and shattered,

A broken mirror be...

Broken not beaten...

The only way to be!!!

I love the loving thought,

You may cross my way!

Shedding my old skin,

Renewed for you each day...

I love the tender idea

You may hear me one day,

Endless combinations,

To stumble across your way!

I love the blushing love 

That lets me find a way,

To make you come alive...

Through each breath I take each day!

I love each loving word,

I write for you each day...

Till I will never need a single thing,

To your soul to find my way!

Sunrise

Jan 12 8:45pm

Swiftly it strikes

A sword of pure light 

Orange, red, burnished gold

As it fragments the  night...

Night of fevered dreams...

First nudged , then awakened.

Out of slumbered reveries,

Old and young souls shaken!

At first a blushing red,

As the new bride flushed!

Soon burning boldly white,

Time's white charger rushed!!

Urgent, urging is its call,

For deeds urging, more urgent still!

Fresh lands to plough, to nurture,

Fresh minds to fire, fresh loves to till!

And the hard taskmaster dawn,

A searing, burning example sets!

As sparing not it's life, it's soul...

It pays to night it's untold debts!

So through the day it guards,

Time's ever ceaseless flight!

Waxing, waning, yet ceasing not...

To be the source of light!!
