Penchant for sunshine

COPLA 85 INVOCATION : This Bad Guy World

If the aim’s to nullify conflict
How could evolution be willed :
Sheer accident

Since species are subject to roles strict
Just to keep each entity drilled :
None come out spent

If the idea was mooted first
Then set to plan by innate laws...

Excited bustle
What we were missing returns
Unexploded clan
Heart’s origins, simple times
Uncomplicated soul bonds

Cresting apogee
Highest point of our proud arcs
Yet farthest away
From yore’s endless sun-drenched days
When life besotted senses

Half our lives behind
Yet still yearn to reconnect
Fertile fundament
Simplest sense of our place
Roots gulp moisture from first soil

Time’s stern...

It's been well o'er ten years
since I took my journey
through a darkened star-lit tunnel...
...Sucked down a streamlined funnel...
Many people say their 'experience'
was filled with feelings of love;
beautiful sights...colorful lights,
but mine was a fearful flight.
I saw no glorious revelations,
no visions of life past.
I saw only darkness...

Damian Stood in the morning sun.
The sun felt good on his face.
Delilah was still sleeping. He
Kissed her face and caressed 
Her belly until she awoke.
Hey my Mrs. Me. Come on babe.
We will be leaving today soon
Early afternoon. He pulled her 
From the bed. She stood...

I asked my husband what was wrong
He didn’t answer
 He just wiped his eyes and drove away
He left his wedding ring on the table
 
I strode out into the misty morning
 the sun fighting the sky for the stage 
 as a steady drizzle began

I have reached the ripe old age of 85,
Why am I on Earth, still alive
When most of my friends are dead
Or laying Ga Ga in aged care beds.
Why was this Old Duck,
Given the luck,
To survive
When others died.

I am sure I don't know,
When God has plans,
For...

Here’s a little Christmas note from me to you,
But not just for helping me… it’s what you do.
I must be honest, it was your pretty eyes
That made me linger… they caught me by surprise.

It was also the smile beneath your mask
That made me decide that...

Before ever there was time
before there was the heavens
and the stars gave their light
or the glimmerings of life
was it determined
to be a gift ?
this love to be stained with pain
was this the choice of our will
or the curse of destiny
that as in birth
the threads of...

Give to me the good land
sweet earth and soil
the sun the shade and her toil
Put me back in natures hand
the cycle of things that I understand
Stand beneath the light of the stars
and my face to warm in the sun
pick herbs in summer showers
and hold you...
