In Our Blindness, Chalked Up To Just Be Fate

Life, its complexity truly astounds
astounds this old soul so sadly earthbound
earthbound but not without imagined flight
flight into blue heavens's glimmering night.
Night of ill winds that beggars disbelief
disbelief of blindness that brings dark grief
grief of those lost, dying...

We have the left; we have the right.
In the political arena they both fight.

Always claiming to be on our side,
With ferocious rhetoric, opponents they deride.

Vote for us, to be saved from a vicious clan’s
Reckless and dangerous life ending plan.

So now it’s up to you and...

When I look up at the dusky sky each night
see silver stars which are shining bright
moonbeams sparkle on the sea
I feel so carefree.
velvet blue
we
wave adieu
because soon I’ll see
the sun rising above me
until nightfall brings me pure delight
when I look up at the dusky sky each...

If the ocean's water
were used as writing ink for pens

the ocean would eventually dry up
before it might be put in writing.

Feelings of euphoria, if even for just a day

feuilleton or stichomythia, words I can't even say

scoring the winning goal in the championship game

raising you up over their shoulders

basking in your thirty seconds of fame

Tomorrow will they remember your name?

That sunny summer afternoon by the lake

skipping...

I've had it up to here with rappers saying they have more bars than a prison
I'm sick of celebrities saying they're a bigger star than anything in the solar system
I'm tired of rappers saying their car is upset because the roof is missing
I no longer...

Look up to the sky
Look up in the sky and what do you see?
Is it an airplane flying by me?
Look up to the sky what do you see?
Is it the sun shinning down on me?
Look up to the sky what do you see.
The moon is...

I will stand up to my golieths 
no more excuses will I make
I will face down my circumstances 
No matter what it takes

We are living in troubled times 
hatred is abound
Mass killings has become a fad
Racism is on the rebound 
We are facing our golieths...

I gripped-
the edge of the sail    boat
sea spray    soaked me
the shore-
   was far away
a huge wave took the boat high
up
  to
   the
     sky
then into the pit of the rushing sea

I was walking in the sunshine
With nothing on my mind
Searching through the memories
Trying real hard to find
To find that certain memory
Buried underneath the dust
Then I heard myself say
"In you lord I trust"
I felt a certain comfort 
I had never felt before
As I became in ...

When our first kiss up to the heavens soared,
   An ardent passion swirled around the air.
   With no sense of time—neither here, nor there—
   A bond was formed, and faith in love restored.
With the kind permission of the good...

I feel empty inside
Don't know exactly why
I just want to hide
Somehow close my eyes and die

Somehow let go and die
I wonder to myself, why?
I feel like a worthless fly
I just feel the need to cry

Sweet, yet bitter and harsh as the windstorm
Swept off my feet,...

"Words are just letters,
Pasted together

Their individual sound makes no sense
But formed together they are heaven sent

Giving each letter a voice,
It’s message our choice

As we chose letters to fit,
To form the words of our script

Expressing what is in us,
Framing moments we can trust

To explain feelings within,
And...
