Poetry
I have often took the time to write a poem or two. Nothing great but here is a selection for you to peruse.
Weird Life
Life is all about growing up and learning as we go
trying to remember everything we already know
attempting to face the lessons we must learn along the way
knowing if we dont, we'll face them all some other day
hoping that we'll make it as we try to get it right
sometimes losing motivation and giving up the fight
dipping into valleys, ascending mountain peaks
feeling strong and happy, sometimes morose and weak
reflecting on our dreams and everything we've feared
we look through aged eyes, realising, life is just plain weird.
Message In A Bottle
Sitting alone 'neath an old oak tree and feeling rather blue
suddenly, a wondrous sight, appeared within my view
I looked up to the Heavens, at the moonlit night above
as the sky was rent asunder, to reveal, the God of Love;
Now, Im not all that religious, my belief is rather low
but I heard a gentle voice calling out to me, below
I thought I must be dreaming or, perhaps, I ought to run
when I heard a thousand angels, all singing out, as one;
I had ne'er heard such music, in all the years gone by
but a quiet voice assured me that I wasnt going to die
and so I sat and listened to all that I was told
as raindrops fell around me though, I didnt feel the cold;
Eventually I fell asleep with a heartfelt sigh
and when I did awaken, the sun was in the sky
and so it was another day, but not the same, I knew
I'd learned a lesson for all life and I wasnt feeling blue;
Deep within my being, a change had taken place
and I felt the world would see it, reflected in my face
something new had touched my soul and changed this world of mine
and now I knew for certain that - I mustn't drink cheap wine!
My Hope For The World
Where is the peace, Where is the love
Where is the faith in a God above
Where is the hope for a brand new dawn
Where O Where has it all gone
Why is there hate, Why is there fear
Why have we lost all we once held dear
Why does the sister and the brother
Choose to fight and kill each other
Why are they deaf, Why are they blind
Why cant they leave this madness behind
Why dont they believe, Why dont they know
This isnt the way for us to go
May they open their heart, open their eyes
To all these illusions and the lies
That make them believe in all that is wrong
This is my Wish, My Prayer, My Song!
