Waiting room

Standing room only
What a way to spend my time
But if there's any trouble
Then it will surely be worth my dime
Better safe than sorry
Is what parents breathe
For nothing's more dear to us
Than our precious seed

Light switch

Walked through a garden of peace
Watched the "V" of leaving geese
Wondering where they will go
Escaping the inevitable snow
Knowing now that the future is plastic
Not captured for ages with an instamatic
Focused on turning off the switch
That has caused this insane and frightening glitch
Understanding that only with faith
Can we attempt to change our fate

Quiet

One hour of quiet in a busy day
Is so like heaven because I get to play
In my mind I frolick and run
And around the waterfalls have so much fun
No better cure for cares and woes
Than feeling the sand wash over my toes
And hearing sweet whispers in my ear
Promising my heart will always be near

Dreams

They slip away like fingers gripping sand
Images that haunt your thoughts and leave you desperate to understand
Try as you might feelings are all that get left behind
And figuring them out is often like walking blind
Once in a while a fleeting sequence will be yours to keep
But only until the very next time you close your eyes to sleep

Suffrage

Black ghosts flitting through life
Allowed to vote but definitely not drive
Always yearning, wanting more
But never permitted past the door
When will the justices see the error
Of imposing this form of accepted terror
On those who give life and nurture the youth
And ultimately pass on their culture and truth

2011

Riding another recession
Nothing we do seems to be right
Stresses are piling up
And now reality is starting to bite
Trying our best to keep happy
But there just doesn't seem to be any respite
And just when things look up
A curtain falls and there's no end in sight

Optimism

It really is a wonderland
One we cannot comprehend
Never dull or plain or bland
Excitement so intense it can rend
But colour is also part of the plan
And warmth and beauty too
So the good and bad go hand-in-hand
For each day is always fresh and new

Idylle

Here lie two lost souls
Bound together through hard luck
Sealed for eternity
Because fate seemed to be stuck
Best of friends found hand in hand
In a place most obscure
Having left behind all they knew
Staring over in a place most pure
Their trials may have seemed great
But in the end it's clear
They had the better luck
Of all those they held most dear
So don't despair of their lives
They were blessed beyond belief
Being here together
Brought more than just comfort and relief

Indian summer

Here we are again
Raising our glass to summer's last grin
Excitement is running high
As we bask under an azure sky
Last long weekend before the cold
Comes along to take firm hold

Birds and bbbb's

Can you see the bee?
Spell it right or see it flee
Social media has exposed the truth
Webster's has now become moot
Sign it well or not at all
It doesn't matter on your wall
Just put down whatever you choose
Because it matters we all lose
But find the gem and we will laugh
Because in the end it's still a gaff!
