Inanity

Inanity is what we are
Those who celebrate it
Are few and far
But when they shine
Their light is bright
As they mock us gently
But with sincere might

Thanks

To give thanks for all we have
A splendid thing we do
But once a year is not enough
It should be all year through
As long as we have a chance
To express our gratitude
We will always live & love
With proper rectitude

Fog

A thick and heavy curtain
Of mist hangs from the sky
A cloud brought down to earth
The only question: why?
To burn away in sunlight
To flee before the heat
Is a foggy signature
Making a hasty, fast retreat

Split personality

Can you show both sides of you
To everyone you meet?
The cheery, positive, happy one
Where everything is great
Or the moodier, stark, depressive one
Where you question everyone's fate?
Alas, the world knows but one
As it would never stand
To let the darkness out to play -
No point in giving it a hand

Good Idea

An idea formed is just a thought
Unless into action it is brought
But how to pursue this errant dream
When I've had my chance, it would seem
Now on to other things am I
Yet, this idea, I'm sure would fly

Angry words

Words can hurt so much, you know
Chosen well and said with spite
They'll take on a life of gnawing
Right into your mind and deep into your soul
They can destroy you or make you whole

Autumnal hymn

Yellow leaves are raining down
It's that time of year again
When colours pop and nature
Does its best to out-do itself

Fall is here and the sun's still out
We're enjoying the world
The warmish, mid-autumn air
The slow turning of the year

Roasting beans

Java, java! Wake me up
Your bitter sweet elixir in my cup
A tasty drink to ease the day
And get me going on my way

Virtuoso

Another song to sing
But this time with a minor ring
A medley played with tiny hands
Evoking sounds of bigger bands
A crazy confluence of talent & stuff
The kind of which you never get enough

Go West

We're aware you have to go

But it's still sad for us, you know

We're left behind to watch and wave

Cherishing the memories that we've saved

You're new adventure will be good for you

And for that we're happy, this is true
