Brood

The skies lit up and gave us a show,
just what we needed to take our mind
off all the world of troubles around us.

Tears Fall

Tears Fall, a photo by Damian Gadal on Flickr.

Tell truths, use words of meaning
can you tell me who you are or,
just what you do or have done?
Don't just stand there in pity of yourself
throwing me catch lines for sympathy
conversations round and round
empty tears falling to the ground
circles, circles, endless circles
shut your mouth, stop that sound
and your boring games... goodbye
I'm going to see if excitement can be found

Moments of Bliss

Often taken for granted
moments of bliss
are those we should
be most thankful for

Unchained

Our dreams broke free
leaving us behind again
they had their own destiny
we never could hold them

Lies

I still awake alone
you're not here
happiness just a lie

Illusion

Freedom and choice
behind a fence of lies
the bill of goods
we bought, illusion

Going the distance

Going the distance, a photo by Damian Gadal on Flickr.

He did not know content
it was unlearned
he'd been taught that
he loved the animals,
they seemed at peace
removed from evil...
that of man's making
and in time the world
give him a gift
the best gift of all
the unimportance
of everything
just the pleasure
of being....
