To The Hearts
to the hearts both young and free
to the hearts both worn and weary
to all hearts out there every where
celebrate life today and enjoy living
love comes and sometimes goes
but while we live and hearts beat
we have the hope of better days
so breath in and enjoy your day
share a smile with the world, and
if you have no smile, please then
take one of mine, I will share
Sunset
the night shrieks it's way across the sky
crying at the wound, a blood red sunset
on far distant horizon line, fading away
clouds shown reflected for quick glimpse
just a moment in time, honoring colors
of the dying sunlit world, soon gone
into the gloom of velvet darkness
where different things come out
to play across the lands, many
to anxiously await coming dawn
when the cycle shall resume
dark to light, then to sunset
once again gracing life
and our perceptions
Talk
say what you have to say
speak out loud and clearly
do not save what you have
for the writing on your gravestone
let it be known now, with enthusiasm
clear your throat and let it roar
for your voice has worth and value
in a world of too much babble
let your truth resonate to all
The Light
I see sun's rays appearing over far horizon line
bringing the light to this dark world of night time
shining it's warmth to all of us earthbound folk
light is a wonderful gift but did you ever think
that there is a light inside of us all, every day
we have a light shining throughout our being
with a smile or a gaze we can share that light
bringing a warmth and charm to the cold world
so let your light shine brightly today, all day long
share your warmth with all that you may meet
for the cold and dark is everywhere and strong
kill that loneliness today with your shining light
bringing happiness and peace to this old wor
Coming Night
dim twilight slipping away beyond far horizon
night birds begin to sing their lamentations
crying for the dying of the day's light, gone
deepest darkness awaits it's arrival upon the stage
where it will pounce upon the world filled with life
bringing a time of quiet repose and rest for everyone
but yet I remember those last rays of the twilight
grasping at the sky, foolishly fighting the inevitable
for darkness comes to us all, everyone and everything
must enter a time of darkest darkness, for a length of time
so that we may rejoice in wonder and awe at the light's return
be it a darkness of the physical or of the emo
Emotional Currents
strong in flood and wave they come
with loss of self or love or imaginations
the feelings surround and they drown
all of your better thoughts for a time
these emotional currents that we feel
pushing our bodies to the very brink
no control do we possess over them
not really, though some say we should
these high water marks are left alone
upon the sides of our inner selves
showing to any who will care to look
just how often we have been consumed
