Watering can

Another grand show today
Everything seems to be going our way
On the surface, yes, things are good
But the core is like brittle wood
Water is being poured tirelessly
To revive the roots of this massive tree
Just hope and pray that it will respond
As of its shade we've grown very fond

Soldiering on

I want a better tomorrow
I want to know that we will be okay
But sometimes when I look around
I find happy thoughts hard to stay
When soldiers come back broken
And those in charge just wash their hands
After stripping them of feeling
And sending them off to distant lands
So much around to lament
The indifference and sheer contempt
Maybe one day it will all change
And the social class will be rearranged
Then we'll see how well the shoe fits
When the leaders are the ones taking all the hits

I can see

I can see! I can see! I can see!
A church, blue sky and a tree!
As long as these items remain clear to me
This world is a wonderful place to be!

Comiccon 2011

Walking through halls of grey
All these people in my way
Seeing ghosts of youth go past
Watching others having a blast
I once was there, in those shoes
It was so important to know the clues
Now it all seems slightly stale
As I've finally finished that fabled tale
It's now for others to wear their pride
While I just go along for the ride
Knowing that in my heart
I was there right from the start

Magic

Call of the wild
Brings out my inner child
Takes me back to days gone by
When we never questioned who, when or why
We lived on feelings and pure emotions
Magically journeying over exotic oceans
Loving every minute we had
Never allowing ourselves to be sad
Now to touch that kind current
Is to ride every fleetingly happy torrent

Goddess

Our earthly Mother
Was always there
Making sure we are fed
And showing us how much she cares
Now we shun her
And fail to see
Just how her grace
Protects us and gives us mercy

Stretched

Support does not work both ways
Right now it I'm it, but that's as far as it goes
The weight is heavy, I know this to be true
When the pressure's on that's when your inside shows

I feel the burden just like you
What you don't realize is that I do my best
From dawn to dusk the meter's on
With no ears to unload the cares from my chest

Now you are pushing for me to look
When you don't realize just how things will change
Not just for me but for the other three as well
As I will be far out of range

Winding down this day
Problems sure to come my way
Answers always grey


Another haiku from me to you

Spa day

Pounding waters flowing over me
Sloughing away filth and insanity
Brightening up what once was pure
Helping me get back to here
Now the world spins 'round once more
A merry-go-round we've all experienced before
But the ducks and turtlea are free
And that is always heartening to see

Again

Make it rain! Make it rain!
I wish it would rain again
It's been so long that I've forgotten
And now all emotions are simply rotten
Wish the ideal place was here
Somewhere close and somewhere near
I guess I have to face
The fact that I've been out of the race
And now catching up is harder than ever
So for me right now, there is no pleasure
