All should bound and sway
with knowledge of future days
better than the past.
Better than the past,
Will be this new dominion,
a saltating boon?
A saltating boon!
Inspire the weary minded,
with eyes uplifted.
With eyes uplifted,
light shines into the soul,
guiding restrained hope.

Life’s Ebb and Flow
heat flows through new veins
to the ends of outstretched tips
moon’s hold starts to ebb
moon’s hold starts to ebb
the sun gives its warm embrace
the energy flows
the energy flows
slowly, life ebbs toward death
hope waits in the dark
hope waits in the dark
lifelines retire out of time,
still, latent, until…

I imagine those reading this one might think of a certain topic but it has many meanings. Did you know that when farmers, gardeners, and anyone who has to dig in a new area should get a person to come out and search for the utilities underground first? The person will place red flags where any existing areas of concern are which will remain areas of concern for the future unless the utility is rerouted, made obsolete, or the person needing to dig, finds another, equally or more fertile place to dig.

Pray Good Sense

gulf storms and sea swells
waves ravage innocent sands
calm beauty returns
*
calm beauty returns
at the final gust of breath
the ear knows silence
*
the ear knows silence
and the roaring void is hope
the listless will stir
*
the listless will stir
when empty truths are laid bare
pray good sense prevails

queen’s reign abated
her anguished swarm’s fury hunts
in the bonfire’s flame
*
in the bonfire’s flame
frenzied life is fed and born
a limited drones’ race
*
a limited drones’ race
an heir appears slaying foes
by force of nature
*
by force of nature
with dead foes’ her steps to climb
the new queen is crowned

clip these broken wings
to find a new way of flight
put your mind to work
put your mind to work
bringing art from cobwebbed wings
we carve through despair
we carve through despair
to discover a masterpiece
fly beyond limits
fly beyond limits
to create your own meanings
form fierce confidence

Awaken
What hope have we now,
in these crazed deceitful days,
We will face the beast.
We will face the beast
that is the bronzed behemoth
bleeding the path red
Bleeding the path red
blinding mobs with hate and strife
victory is his.
victory is his
unless we learn from past fails,
ours will be added.

Anger your closed friends
So eyes are opened to see,
speak your heart fully.
Speak your heart fully!
Drive truth through their tampered minds,
for the time is near!
For the time is near,
and we are to destine the world
with one fingertip.
With one fingertip?
Without discernment within?
What hope have we now?

Surge Ahead To Not Remain Behind
The morrow brings life
To the masses of fleet rage,
Keep the surge alive.
Keep the surge alive
It never lasts long enough,
to change fate’s robbed course.
To change fate’s robbed course,
Ride this rare swell of free minds,
To bring man purpose.
To bring man purpose,
Stop these apathetic streams,
choose on the morrow.

part with your stale thoughts
breathe in new inspiration
meet the future here
meet the future here
dip into dawn’s bracing dew
morning’s part of joy
morning’s part of joy
skill joins creative vigor
to reveal magic
to reveal magic
greet life’s every moment
with measure of heart

the flames in your eyes
cast a shadow o’er the moon
to cage my hunger
to cage my hunger
sights are set upon my heart
to bring to light fear
to bring to light fear
look into my weakened soul
for me to know love
for me to know love
I’ll worship your every breath
till the last sun sets

I self-destruct when
your words are lost from my life
dread pervades this void
dread pervades this void
as my ego begs for hope
life devastates me
life devastates me
when your eyes embrace with mine
own these thoughts hunger
own these thoughts hunger
and thirst to demolish walls
for identities
