Silence: A Respite

I could tell you stories of power
When we quested for Glory and Gold
The battles for virtue and honor
Ideals we tried to hold
Now the land has gone quiet
The Dragon no longer roars
We battle to live our lives daily
Dreaming of what we once were
It takes time to recover from sorrow
And pleasure to cure you from pain
When we continue on with our story
Remember our favor and fame

The Dog Days of Summer

The Dog Days of Summer

The heat is gone

 But now it’s back

August is dragging on

Laying out on the lawn

But only if, an umbrella you pack

And August is dragging on

I know that time still marches on

Although sometime it seem to go forth and not back

And August keeps dragging on

I don’t understand the game in which I’m a pawn

As the Dog Days of Summer at your heels, will bark

And, still, uninterruptedly, August drags on and on…

When will it end? It keeps plowing on

Telling me, waiting, knowing they can keep a mark

Down they say,

                            One more day!

                            One more day!

              And August no more will drag on

              Although we long will be gone

              Free to hide and fight on

              Or walk and write on

              Our battle will be ceased

              Because we know

How August always drags on!
