==========================================================================
I stood upon a mountain,
Looked ‘round at what I saw
A ruined, barren wasteland,
Breathing never more...
Fires burned and buildings fell,
The fields were razed and charred.
A blood red moon, a blackened sky,
Death left is calling card
Cried for mercy in the night,
Pleas that go unheard.
For now the end is drawing near
And will not be disturbed.
Falling to my knees,
I sob,
And stare in disbelief;
Alone, it seems I will be spared,
Anger, at first, then grief.
The arid smoke,
It fills my lungs,
My eyes, they start to tear.
A little voice inside me
Says there's nothing left to fear.
And suddenly the earth begins
To shake and choke and cough.
The loudest sound I’ve ever heard,
No way to turn it off.
The oceans burn and turn to steam,
The land turned inside out.
The death cry of a planet,
No room for any doubt.
And suddenly, as it began,
It stops and all is still.
My mountain stands much taller now
I guess it always will.
The skies, they clear,
The fires, doused,
The water cooled and calm.
I opened up a tight-cleaned fist
And look inside my palm . . .
Some specks of dirt,
A rock or two,
A bottle cap, a weed,
And there, a tiny spark of hope:
A little yellow seed.
Is this enough to start anew,
This life so great and grand?
I plant the seed and pat the soil,
Right there where I stand.
=========================================================================
Here’s a piece of me
I hope it makes you smile
It took a while to make it.
So this is what it’s come to,
A whore who’s selling art
Little do you realize
In your hands, a piece of my heart.
I don’t do it for the money
I’m trying to make you happy…
Cause now it’s my job.
=========================================================================
Words I never meant to say
And things I have done;
They’re gone, too late . . . too
late
=========================================================================
You know me,
So tell me, have I gone crazy?
Truly mad?
I’ve trapped myself in my head...
It’s safe.
And no one gets in.
But can’t get out.
But I don’t think I even want to...
========================================================================
It is impossible to fly
While tied to the earth
========================================================================
We can see the past and the future
(but we like to keep things
interesting)
========================================================================
I will post more as time allows. Thanks for checking this out.
