Wave of Life

Poem.....Wave of Life

We are a wave of Life
Just passing through
Some with many years
Other only a few

Do we pass on what we know
The lessons we learned
Or is our time only a show

The wave continues on
With those who heed
With those that care
For those in need

Our destiny is naught written in a star
It is written in our passion
To push our wisdom far

Come and Gone

Come and Gone

Come and gone
No passion shone
Our time was short
Building our empire
Racing ahead alone

We called it success
We called it progress
When what it was
Looking back
Was eras of distress

We can't go again
Another Era of sin
We can't save what is gone
Or seek how to atone
Or understand the term "When?"

Tap, Tap, Tap

Tap, Tap, Tap

What is there to say
Things changing day to day
Protest this
Prohibit that
We have lost our way

Who is charting our path
Leading us to an unknown bath
How do we know
Which way to go
To avoid the coming wrath

Save this, save that
Tapping shoes and tilted hat
We dance our way
Down rainy streets
To avoid the coming spat

Rabid Poet

Virus

"Virus"

I walk these streets alone
Cars and buses long gone
Occasional stray cat or dog
People hiding out in smog
Attached to a smartphone

The Virus now widespread
Hospitals are notread
When will It end
Is it Earth in mend
Or last dream in one's head

Time

Poem...."Time"

There will come a time
When Earth spins no more
When our bones are our story
Of the fabric of life we tore

Did it really matter
Those species we pushed to extinct
All were going there anyway
Gone as we blindly blinked

Silence will occupy our space
Dust gathering on our bones
Stars gazing upon u
As they turn to stones.

So what was the reason
For life here and gone
Time will come
Answer written on a bone

Today Will be Through

Today will be Through

Don't know Up from Down
Or Forward from Back
Or is it Right from Left
Or Tic from Tac

When from Was
Does it Matter or Not
Friend from Foe
Cold from Hot

One thing for sure
Or maybe Two
When Tomorrow comes
Today will be through

Plant Despair

Plant Despair

In despair
Says the tree
Oxygen in the air
I give to thee

I spread my leaves
To face the sun ray
To separate oxygen from H2O
So animal life can play

Please don't cut me down
To make your light poles
And thousands of other things
As you play your desperate roles

Our time will come
We will again cover Earth in green
And you humans are here no more
Eaten by your machine

New Seed

New Seed

I look for answers
From times unknown
For guidance
From past seeds sewn

There is no certainty
Nothing to count on
Except protecting the Planet
New seeds being sewn

One thing is for certain
The Now is always Here
The future non existing
The Past not to fear

A New Age approaches
Leaving behind global greed
A chance for Humanity
To grow from new seed

Sweet Delusion

Sweet Delusion

You make my life possible
You give me visions
Of what can be
You take those dire predictions
And scatter them like dust over the Sea

You fill me with joy
And wash dread down the drain
Some call you spin
Some call you pretend
I call you friend Insane

Wind, The Only Sound

"Wind, The Only Sound"

Where we go
Not for us to know
On our quest
For our own show

Complexities abound
Arranged to our hope
Misunderstood consequences
Approaching the slope

There will come a time
When we are no more
Green leaves will abound
Wind the only sound

Shaken

Shaken

Earth keeps on turning
Sun keeps on churning
We keep on yearning
For things we shouldn't have

Will we awaken
As we are being taken
By Earth being shaken
And Life moves on

Beauty

Poem....Beauty

There are days of bright blues
And there are days of darkened grays
Of streaks of white playing among trees
Of mottled Seagulls over rough seas
But whatever this day brings
And surely it will be
The beauty of it all
Is there for us to see.

Cloud Talk

Poem...Cloud Talk

Saw a cloud
Looked like a bear
Where are you going
Cloud replies
"why do you care
In the next few moments
I'll look like a pig
Or maybe even a tree
What ever I look like
Is not up to thee
So move right along
With your creative flight
For so very soon
I'll be out of sight"

In Darkness

Poem "In Darkness"

In darkness I walk
In search of diming light
"Walk on" say the gods
,"Trust in our might"

But diming does not cease
In darkness I walk alone
My trust in the gods
Is now long gone

Still I seek that diming light
That opens Worlds I should know
Maybe in some times to come
Out of darkness I will go

Muffin Man

I'm the Muffin Man

"I'm the Muffin Man
Eat'em when I can
It's part of my Plan
Cause I'm the Muffin Man

Eat 'em every day
Snatch 'em off the tray
More muffins I pray
Cause I'm the Muffin Man"

Move on Sweet Jesus

Current lyrics

Move on sweet Jesus
We have gone too far
Went lookin for that star
When right beneath our feet
Is your Holy treat
Move on Jesus

The path we choose
If we all lose
It's not for you
It's not for us a clue
That Holy road we seek
That road that only you can see
Your place is not here now
We can't know your how
Move on Jesus

And when this all ends
And when we seek amends
You tried to see us through
Our fall lies not with you
And when we all fall
And when we've had our all
You tried to see us through
Our fall lies not with you
Move on Jesus
Move on Jesus

Jesus move on
We have been too long
Traveling this road
Shouldering this load
Soiling our souls
Suffering our roles
Move on Jesus

The price that we pay
Forever if you stay
Is never finding home
And never having known
The seeds you've sown so well
The tree from which we fell
Move on Jesus

And when this all ends
And when we seek amends
Our fall lies not with you
Who tried to see us through
And when we all fall and when we've had our all
The fault lies not in you
Who tried to se us through
Move on Jesus
Move on Jesus

Move on sweet Jesus
We have gone too far

Old Mountain Walk

Poem...".Old Mountain Walk"

Walking down this old mountain road
Hoping it will loosen my load
How long will I be here
How long will it be here
Thinking of destruction we have sewed

Mountain tops slowly pass by
Cloud images fill the sky
Warning of things to come
Warning of the greedy some
I just keep walking with a sigh

Buttermilk Skies

"Buttermilk Skies"

Buttermilk skies
A sight for our eyes
Moving and mixing
A beautiful Sunrise

Dark chocolate skies
Stars  showing their eyes
Dreams close by
Puppies utter their cries

Earth keeps on turning
We keep on yearning
Somehow not noticing
Buttermilk skies churning

Launched Poem

"Launched Poem"

I launched a poem
Into the air
And it landed
I know not where

In the crowd
Or in the church
Or in a tree
Does it lurch

How many eons
Or to what place
With it's poetic wings
Drifting in space

Perhaps it's reading
By aliens not understood
But why should we care
We've long turned to wood
