Out of all the creatures that live in the sea
There is only one that stands out for me
Cute looking and grey and on it's back a fin
You have probably guessed, it is the dolphin.
I'll describe them in detail so in your mind you can see
I will do my best to create some imagery
They grow eight foot long; have a tail and a fin
And a flipper on each side that helps them to swim.
A pod or a school is what you would call their group
They can do backward flips and loop the loop
Their food source is found in all the world's oceans
There's squid, small fish, plankton and crustaceans.
With cute slit eyes and a skin of silky grey
You can swim with them, but you'll have to pay
There are many now living in captivity
Now surely thats wrong , they all should be free.
Half of their brain stays awake when they go to sleep
Thats to prevent them from drowning when they're in the deep
They use echolocation, scientists have found
And thats how they know how to find their way around.
Sometimes they seem to jump up vertically
Spy-hop thats called so their surroundings they see
They sometimes follow ships and swim alongside
They're conserving their energy, they call that bow-ride.
The favourite is the bottlenose but there are others as well
Some species of dolphins in big rivers do dwell
They are very intelligent and awesome to see
And very beautiful creatures, I'm sure you'll agree.
To see them swim in the ocean is a beautiful sight
So keep your eyes peeled and one day you might
The first time that I saw one, I was just a child
In a movie called 'Flipper' sadly not in the wild.
Their habitat is changing and that's a tragedy
Because man is so selfish and pollutes the sea
And with careless fishing some do not survive
So solutions must be found so that dolphins can thrive.

I would like to apologize
I know I’ve been distant
But I’m struggling
I hate this
It’s like I woke up one day
Missing myself
I never looked though
I just gave up
That wasn’t a hard choice
I felt tired
I’ll look when I get some sleep
Liar.
I said I’ll look
And I promise I will
Or maybe I’ll convince myself otherwise
I know I’m holding on still
So there’s no rush to search
When I’m still here
Well, kind of
Actually I think I’m far from near
I broke another promise
I never went to bed
I stayed up all night
Reminiscing in my head
Because why close my eyes
When I could stay awake
Thinking about things that make me sad
Things that make me break
I have an idea
I could go to sleep
Give myself a nice break
Finally get some peace
That could work
But I’m not
I feel like I don’t have any want
The want to get out of this spot
I say I do
I think that’s a lie
I know that it is
I don’t know why
I guess I’ll let you know
If I want to go look
Because I’m ok being incomplete
If saying I’m ok gets me off the hook
“enjoying illusions without stagnating
in blissful nonchalance, we keep on flowing”

Let
us take
awareness
as aliveness,
innate to our self,
as witness consciousness,
upon which reflections move,
quite the same thing as a movie,
then strangely we choose to be confined
lost amidst the dream characters on screen.
We go to sleep, dream, wake up, again dream.
What then is a dream and what is real?
What matters is our responses.
to the events playing out.
Are we poised to let go
and connect within
with the divine
in our heart:
throbbing
bliss.

Not enough heat. Snow. Cold. and now rain
on Tuesday morning. traffic sloshes to work.
it is cloudy for the second straight day. the snow
was magical only for an hour. businesses might
have closed. now it's melting in a cold rain.
is the city depressing me? i ride the subway
and the people no longer seem beautiful. the noise
is just noise, no longer the power of God. i sit
slumped, still at ease, but no longer playing
with the eyes of other passengers. glance at the ads
and then go to sleep with my eyes open.
it is winter, and it should have its effect. the
difficult, dangerous season when weak creatures die
and the strong barely survive. why expect
much heat to mitigate it and the happiness of Spring?
accept cold and discomfort and the bad sound made.
it is a poor city, the seasons touch us. there is
not enough heat. snow. cold. and now rain.
Sitting here by your baby bed,
Many thoughts going through my head,
Praying God protect you from harm,
Yearning to hold you in my arms.
Go to sleep, my dear infant one,
Long way to go, life just begun,
Beyond today lies many feats,
May God direct in all you seek.
Go to sleep, my fine little boy,
Day coming fast to forego toys,
And depart your sheltered childhood,
Tend you all the way if I could.
Go to sleep, my young teenage lad,
Hear words of wisdom from your Dad,
Grow up strong with moral fiber,
Trust in Christ as Lord and Savior.
Go to sleep, my spent adult son,
Your long hard trek will soon be done,
Normal life has been hard to reach,
God free you from angsts, I beseech.
Sitting here by your first picture,
A healthy child; now dire stricken,
Will always wonder through the years,
Pondering why and shedding tears.
The way ahead is open
The way ahead is clear
The sun shines over
The sky is vast and near
I reach upward seeking
The warmth of natural heat
I follow the path of the
golden ball as it retreats
Each day I show my appreciation
To the star of glowing heat
The bees buzz and fall sleepy
I let them stay for free
I see the birds and the people
Looking up at me.
Giant is what they all say as they cast their eyes on me
I stay a while for their admiration
And then I go to sleep
I seed my life for others to see similar to me
A giant sunflower gives some pleasure to humans, birds and bees.
I want to go home courses through my head
Even while next to you in bed
We do not fight, not even yell
Yet the silence will not quell
My mind is screaming
And the tears will soon begin streaming
I send you a text
Which I think you swipe next
Then you go to sleep
Without saying a peep
Other than a muttered 'I love you'
And the voices become few
Those words are my kryptonite
Now I'll be able to sleep tonight
Without fear you'll leave
Giving me a reprieve
The first poem in awhile I've written
Once again I will begin
Reflection beneath an overturned leaf
Will not be brief
For improvement is necessary
If I don't want to continue with this misery
GOD
I praise him
I kneel before him
I lay and pray and go to sleep
Knowing his eyes are upon my dreams
Like incense that runs, through the air
He seems to rule and flow through my night sky
Like a GOD!
He holds my love in his hands
Gave me the will to be strong
He's more than my shelter
He's more than my guided stars at night
He holds me in his fist so tight
Like the sanity, that keeps me together
He's the warmness of the light through the night
With his GODLINESS!!
In the arms of his temple,
He allows me to sit on the right side of his throne
With his presence by my side, I never feel alone
He healed my sadness with the flow of his veins
He healed my rage, and gave me the gift of serenity
You're my GOD!
No one will never know what I feel for him
All the blessings that I have,
Came since the day I found him,
Now I have my very own GOD!
by; p.d.
It's three a.m and I'm in bed
Lots of thoughts fill my head
I've tried to sleep but I cannot
I just toss and turn a lot
Even if my eyes I close
I cannot sleep I cannot doze
I could get up and watch TV
Or read a book or make some tea
I've heard it said if you count sheep
You will drift right off to sleep
But that didn't work for me
I was still awake at five hundred and three
Now my clock tells me its four
I really cannot take much more
I have to go to sleep again
Now outside I can hear rain
The pitter patter on the pane
The soothing rhythm of the rain
Makes me feel safe and warm in here
My troubled thoughts just disappear
Now I feel morphias warm embrace
The tension slowly leaves my face
All my troubles fade away
And I'll sleep sound till break of day
I promised myself
I wouldn’t cheat on you,
but I did—
because wherever I go,
it follows me.
Your place in me
is no longer yours alone.
You smile—
it's so damn pretty.
But I remember,
That’s how you smile that night.
You laugh heartily;
My heart skips a beat
Until I hear it laughing at me.
When we go to sleep,
I sleep beside both of you:
The you that I love
And the you that I wish I could forget.
You hug me tight
in the middle of the night—
because you miss me.
But it hugs me tighter,
the thing I can't forget,
as if it never left my mind.
So I shut my eyes,
hoping my thoughts would, too.
Morning comes,
and you kiss me hello.
It tastes so sweet...
until it tastes like what you did.
You whisper goodbye before work—
oh, how I wish it would leave with you, too.
The door shuts loud,
but its silence is louder.
Tears start to fall,
realizing won’t and can’t
are two very different things.
