Our place

Watching the last rays fade from the sky
I repeat that eternal and everlasting question: why?
Our insignificance immense
Yet we swagger and boast with such pretense
Believing in our strength and might
We subdue all around us with unfair fight
Maybe one day we'll all understand
Our greatest strength is walking hand-in-hand

Sea song

No spark too small for nature's grace
Not just reserved for one privileged race
The breath of life is the key
That brings it all together so beautifully
So when two minds find a meeting place
It's best that connection to embrace

Once

Like crystal filament pulled through a straw
Every quivering breath I draw
Is a wonderful moment in time
When all I want can be mine
So long as I have the strength to fight
For what I know and want that's right

Sigh

No inspiration has hit me yet
On finding it soon I shall not bet
For time's running out
And I still have one bout
Before I'm released for the day

Past

I saw your eyes the other day
And remembered what I had to say
It was fun when things were new
Laughs were many and cares were few
But no regret I take with me
Of what was then and what could be
Our time was not meant to last
Despite having had a blast
So go with a heart full of cheer
Knowing that heaven was so very near

After show

I waited for you after the show
There with the others, with hearts aglow
Waiting and hoping for what can never be
Soaking up the words that create fantasy
But broken hearts are found far and wide
For you already walk with someone by your side
Not that a difference it would make
For there is no connection here to break
So leaving the group surrounding the door
I walk home to where there's so much more

A water haiku

Dark water shimmers
The waves break endlessly free
The mermaid's tears flow

Double vision

Let's go through the looking glass to see what we can see
A world turned upside down I'll wager, a landscape of mystery
No simple way from here to there, vaporous clouds to smother
All spark of life and love and thought, so we needn't even bother
But this world is not so very different from the one we've left behind
A place of bitter cast off things we've no real wish to find

Bursting

Too much pressure
This pressure's got to stop
Too much pressure
It's getting to my head!

Yes, I've completely ripped off the lyrics, but they aptly described what I'm feeling right now. Here's one of my own...

Never did I think that I would feel this way
Just so much tension, I sense I'm starting to fray
Leaving for just a while is such a welcome break
That returning at the end is sometimes hard to take
Every step has lately been so fraught
With worry and things much better left forgot
I know something's gotta give
And when it does, I know, it'll be much easier to live

The right toons

Some things just get better with each passing year
Like merry old toons celebrating all we hold dear
Watching the worn images flicker gaily across the screen
Again I remember what all of this means
A time to reflect and do what's right
As the rest of the time it's generally out of sight
