Lifes' cards
Life's a deck of cards, fate’s unsteady hand, And I hold the joker, at life's command. For every joy, a shadow falls, A dance of highs, and sudden stalls. One moment I'm laughing, a heart full of glee, Next, I'm crying, despair captures me. Happiness fleeting, sadness its twin, A battle within, where to begin? Depression’s grip, a slowing tide, Time crawls, and shadows...

Lifes Jackdaws
Life’s Jackdaws I wish it were now! Yes now!? ?Seven tens and two years further along, like that dead headed summer garden, you know the song, you a long time gone, In your eyes I saw all the answers, to all those questions which I never knew then, you never spilt any, I constantly watched for drips of clues...

Lifes like a Book
Life's like a book, long and winding, Pages turn with every finding. Stories written, some with pain, Chapters filled with sun and rain. You hold the pen, the ink flows fast, Choices made, some will last. But there are times, you want to burn, The whole thing down, watch it chum. In flames bright, the...

Premium Member Lifes Journey
Life’s Journey These days have forgotten, lost the beauty in a flame from a fire no longer ablaze, not lighting life’s game. Ashes to dust hanging in the air, all that doth remain of what once was, nothing left will ever be the same No one to enlighten, to stand up, only oneself to blame Gray and moist, clouds blanket the...

Premium Member Lifes passing
Sitting here looking around With my hound Somewhere in the lost and never found Lost in time Writing some rhyme Sound of silence fills my head Sometimes I feel dread Ringing Stinging I see the past Went by fast Love all around Happy laughing sound Someone to hold Life makes you bold But love seems to die Wish I knew why Then days turn long You feel you do not belong Life passes...

Life is an adventure are you ready to drive? To launch as an entrepreneur We take on our passions and work our bucket list in life And laugh at the danger and wade through the strife Architect a world full of mystery and intrigue Work our way through this very limited time here 10 lifetimes would maybe be enough to see our life's work done...

Being Under Lifes Pressure
07-06-2023 I can’t catch Up with people who are always on the move I watch Them pass me by though I don’t approve The gap I see between us I accelerate But still I lag behind At a rate which makes me late I try to ignore what’s on my mind And my pace But being human and seeing what I see along the...

Lifes' Book of Instruction
Sometimes in life, one needs a map to find a destination. Relying on such a tool can cause a slight defendant relation. There are times that one might ponder the meaning of existence. On this journey of trial, error, joy, and pain, one prime element is persistence. Ignorance of man's law still constitutes being liable, Therefore it is wise...

Life’s Linguistics Music is language That speaks To us all It asks And it tells Like human Bird calls Food is our greeter It says… Come on in! It gives Then it feeds With warm Welcome grins Art is the glue That says We’re all human It draws us All in While we’re all Bloomin’ By Bill MacEachern August 5, 2022...
