Thousands of light among many homes
There's one light that reserves for you
Waiting for you that you can come in
And who cares for you that calls it home
As you resides day by day love is accustom
Courage is burning and keep light shining
Being together always is like cooking nice food
The belly is well-fed for relationship to bloom
Sometimes, rain and storm might affect light to flicker
Both shelthering hands always there to rescue necessarily
To shade light and keep the light working
In case of strong calamity the light may take off
There is a reserve charging light in case of emergency
Marriage and relationship is like light that need care and propriety.
In Niddle Niddle Land
You can only enter
Through the one way door
Right at the very centre.
There is always food a plenty
From the Niddle Niddle Tree
With crusted Claret in buckets
Served every day from three.
And the men of Niddle Niddle Land
All have round and smiley faces
And in just in case of emergency
All wear both belt and braces.
And their women are all beautiful
Just dressed in flowing dresses
Made from Niddle Niddle leaves,
Also woven through their tresses.
Every night as sunset approaches
The Niddle NiddleTree issues a call
And the folk of Niddle Niddle Land
Gather there one and all
And climb into the branches
Into the foliage lush and deep
And then then Niddle Niddle tree
Sings them all to sleep.
Niddle Niddle Land then closes
Until just before next sunrise
When the Niddle Niddle Tree
Sings all open up your eyes
And the Circle runs again
For everything is planned
Down to the very last iota
There In Niddle Niddle Land.
The window is dark
silouhettes slighlty leaning to the side
The window is dark
squinting and leaning toward the pane
Is anyone there
Just a few feet apart
Behind this transparent divide
Is there a face
A heart
Beat
Or just glass
Reflecting back
How going forward
Is walking away
Can the relflection act out
a story in the scenery of this
changing climate
this density
drowning in color
fading to black
It's just glass
Break
In case of emergency
Break
This urgency
Silenced
in the shadow of the silhouette
left to ponder
peering right in
and back out
at each empty space left
that no one dares to enter
for fear of breaking the glass
In case of emergency,
pull the lever that
make the train stop
In a car, slam on the parking brakes;
if you’re a moving pedestrian,
halt and hail a cop
In a 911 situation ... hold the phone
During a surgical operation,
should something go wrong
Don’t panic!
Remember:
only crash dummies have plastic bones
Just in case of a nuclear meltdown,
if all the shelters are full ...
still find a way to get underground
You won’t have much time,
radiation poisoning is a drag
The survival clock is ticking,
countdown to a body bag
Just in case you missed the memo
Just in case you didn’t know:
don’t go getting Dumb and Dumber,
and eat the fallout yellow snow
given and shared by many,
valued by the wise.
bound by no one,
except but by power of God.
founded with true mercy and humility,
grounded on faith.
free with no payment,
blessings with no attachment.
proof of the holy spirit:
true works of hope,
through our daily lives,
many are unaware of it's knowledge,
left to claim for the deserving:
lifetime spent seeking.
few are grateful.
missed by so many,
used rightly by just a handful,
you can never take advantage of.
handy in case of emergency.
I lined up my words
one by one and
locked them in a glass case
so that you can see
them on display.
WARNING: BREAK GLASS IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
Until then, they remain
confined
so they don’t get out
into the real world
and run around
recklessly, in circles,
chasing your name –after all,
according to the world,
my words have no business with you.
There is something not right in what I see.
There are not enough lifeboats in case of emergency.
I had a dream last night where we were lost at sea.
Mass negligence resulted in many a casualty.
The crew alerted a nearby ship with flares in the sky.
The other ship ignored us and kept sailing on by.
What they have said is an inappropriate quip.
There is no such thing as an unsinkable ship.
Yes, I know it is the pride of the White Star Line.
However, what they have stated sounds asinine.
Even though we must be in New York by next week,
another cruise liner is what we must seek.
