Stories

I onced dreamed of great beauty
Like a lamp burning in the night
My flights turned to fancy
My wonders, endless delight

The world was edged in crimson,
A bastion, a bulwark, and safe
No troubles touched or teased me
No mettle tested my faith

Then came a change and so slowly
A crack in the concrete facade
Like riven rock fording the sea
Like a wave waiting on the esplanade

Retreating to my humble cottage
In my shock, I cast down my eyes
On my bedspread, I found sitting there
On the pillow was the final prize

This temple…

Will never be rebuilt

Its passages are permanently obstructed

There is no treasure to plunder

No wonders to explore

Leave it to crumble

To fall to ruin

One day…

It will be a wonder

The unpassaged temple

The unplundered treasure

But until that day

It is simply a building

A blight on the landscape

Perhaps we should

Demolish this temple

Give history…

A place to start

Meaningful wonders

Meaningful wonders in endless rhyme

Time is an expressionless pit

So partner-less here I sit

And blinking clear my mind

I only wish I had some wit

Meaningful wonders in endless rhyme

Time is an expressionless pit

Don’t worry about me, I will be fine

I only wish I could quit

Or at least get incredibly lit

Meaningful wonders in endless rhyme

Time is an expressionless pit

So partner-less here I sit

The Air I Breathe

I would turn you away

Even if you begged

I’m not worthy of your estimation

I’m not really even worthy of a thought

Time wasted on me could be better spent

Telling tales of days gone by,

Bringing the future to life,

Learning of wonders yet to be

Because I will NEVER be worthy of you.

I may not be smart, or pretty or talented

But of this I am certain with all my crushed being,

I am barely worth the air I breathe

Touch the Infinite, Gravitate to all you can be...

Reach up and touch the Infinite

Gravitate to all you can be

For once be more than just human

You’ll be amazed at the marvels you’ll see

Shells become visions of beauty

There’s a pattern mathematic, precise

They sing with orchestral harmonies

A record will no longer suffice

A snowflake is a thing of wonder

Some say that each one is unique

But I can define its precise shape

By a formula, I guess I’m a geek

But all of these figures and numbers

All wonders and beauties abide

Are nothing without being partaken

By friends, right there, by your side
