Premium Member I ran into a man who was mining clouds for their silver lining
I ran into a man who was mining clouds for their silver lining. And for just a smile, you could buy an endless supply of good cheer from this guy to keep the sun in your life perpetually shining....

Dying Embers
The day was ending, But a window was open To a view of dying embers Ablaze on the coastal horizon. Like a canvas in motion, It captured amazement, Reaching out hypnotically Through clouds awash in fire, And across amber-mirrored beach sands To the beholder, burning its image Into the retinal lining of the soul; Like a lamp onto pier’s end, And an invitation to tomorrow. ...

Silver Lining
Mortality fills our lives with meaning Procrastination the future’s bane Today is prized tomorrow questioned The moment’s treasure — our souls to claim (Dreamsleep: October, 2024) ...

Silver lining
Drowning was so easy aspiration had no cause. All 'cause once it started raining then since only ever pours. It's a spiral of destruction nearly out of control. I'll keep getting worse willingly digging this hole Drawn to mental illness like I'm plotting a graph. Like the times I bawl my eyes out then maniacally laugh. Cant say I'm concerned...

In its thunderous voice, the sky spoke "Let the rains fall upon you" "Beware the hurricanes" ...the wind screamed Electricity filled the atmosphere Gods raised their rods Forests trampled by mudslides Snow blanketed the plains, and... The deserts oases claimed to be real Then, Showing its face; the sun Spoke in warmth... "Life" Let there be!...

The Silver Lining
When life, for us, seems full of doubt and fear A wondrous Silver Lining may appear To shine a light, a light so bright, so clear And wipe away each sigh and bitter tear. When hopes are dashed And all our dreams seem out of reach When we despair of ever reaching that far goal Then think, dear friend, about the...

Combing through the carnage Questions outnumber answers Derailed if dwell on the details Will we forfeit all our advances? Easy to get singularly focused On second guessing decisions Better to not ruminate on regrets Since the past has no revisions Power in pivoting to the present As a new path has been charted Final destination still unknown But in a...

Every Cloud Has a Silver Lining
Some days are soft and pretty, like pale lilac Others - cold as ice and dark like charcoal black While some days preserve your peace of mind Melancholy takes over some, leaving you in a bind Today, your high spirits might be serving the perfect afterglow Fears, rage, and uncertainties might hold your soul hostage tomorrow One day, you could be...

Premium Member Every Cloud Has a Silver Lining
The tormenting time came in my life with the future at stake, when writhing in the crushing clutch of smothered suffering, my burdened heart broke and bled in the inflicted pining ache, I didn’t find the soothing arms of hope stretched to me to cling. My boat wrecked on the high sea in the tempest of agony, I...

Silver-Lining
SILVER-LINING Cheated life occasionally yet it couldn't play even. In life's sequel, I'm swivelled into a deep sweven. Where's conventionality in a cosmos that's so odd? Everyone that ever rocked my world I've dexterously dovetailed into words; Lyric, ballad, elegy or love sonnet occupies 2-thirds. Every single trusted love I've ever lost and that ignorance had collaborated with lust, I've...

Silver Lining In My Darkest Hour
Cold and alone on my bathroom floor I sit, It's dark and I have a cigarette lit. I'm too weak to move, my will to live is all gone. The same thoughts repeat over and over in my head like a song. "You did what you did and you knew it was wrong. You get...

Premium Member Lining Up Witnesses At a Crime Scene
She was all over the county with her answers. Where was your child born? I do not recall. How many times have you been married? Blue diamonds are the prettiest. What time do you usually get off work? I have a fraction of that time in my dendrite file. We look at each other wondering what is happening here. How many children do...
