Cloud Scenery

As I looked at the sky, I was mesmerized,
It was too beautiful, I couldn't take off my eyes!
There was a calm blue sea, a boat was sailing by...

Every now and then sky paints beautiful pictures, 
they keep changing,
The other day I saw a river flowing by, there were many small blue ponds,
Yet another day I saw an ocean, waves rippling on it,
Cool breeze flowed and I felt I was in a beach!

Mountains of orange, grey, red, white, snow clad one's too,
At time scary demon with big eyes stares at you.
Sometimes their is a garden, colourful flowers growing on them.

Different shades of Red and Blue and grey paint beautiful pictures everyday,
These pictures are most visible when the sun is not that bright,
Early morning, evening, rainy season, the best time to watch.

Sitting at home amidst corona,I am not missing my vacation,
Sky paints beautiful scenery I am happy watching them.

Beauties of nature all for free,
Do lookup, I am sure you too will be happy.


Premium Member First Thoughts

First thoughts emerging
From my wakening mind —
Shall it be fear
That fills me
Weak and faint
To face the waiting day?

Or, sleep dispersing
With the coming dawn,
Shall crowded thoughts
Rush restless
Through my mind
Of endless things undone?

When shadows fading
Flee the rising sun,
Shall other shades
Of darkness
Shroud my mind
With life's futility?

Or once more waking,
Weep in bitterness
To find my life
Unwanted,  
Out of use,
An emptiness alone?

Shall night unsleeping
Bring the morning grey,
And sorrows, fears,
And heartache,
Crowd my mind
In comfortless array?

Or could my thinking
Turn these pains to prayer
To him who knows
My helplessness
My weariness,
And find in him relief?

Could he my pacing
Thoughts infuse with peace,
If I lookup
And cry, 
Lord,
I believe!
Help Thou my unbelief?

waiting 
     milky Way 
  eyes
      riding 
  shooting star

  choosing 
    hallucinations
  tumbled 
 from modicum 
   heart
 scattering 
  under light 
   &blood red moon

 grasped?
   defying 
  lookup
 remember
   stars are
lost dreams
   &gazing 
    back 
 at you

  yet
  mourns
each stolen
   soul
 crying 
    muted
 again never
    cogitate on
 dawn
   nor
   sun lentigines

   expectations 
      enters two
  shades:
     torment
  &fear
       black 
  for isolation
      red
        for blood

I see my father mirrored image reflected back to me 
In John's Lennon's small rounded glasses frames
Straddled upon again my father's nose which he often loved to pick
And this i noticed instantly the very fist time I seen a picture of
his face
Which i think is the reason why I feel I have An infinity or feel a connection or bond with him although
In reality I realize I probably don't
It's just something that makes me smile and reminds me of my dad
And what I alone in my head 
Imagine 
Either of them would say If only
Either of them we're still alive
And found themselves in the same place at the same time
I also imagine they could have possibly been friends
As both of them we're 2 young angry men from Liverpool
Who never had anything good or positive thing to say about their childhood's growing up
And why I find it so easily to identify with his lyrics and emotive choke strained voice
Because my father sounded exactly the same to me
John wrote Mother you never wanted me 
Father why did you abandoned me
Paul said Mother Mary come to me
Let it be
Both poet's crafted by default via emotional traumatic damage caused
A Beatle forged by a grand desire wishing to fly away
As was Paul and may well be the reason he named his band Wings
And why my dad joined the navy in order to sail anywhere else far and way
Because he felt as if he had stayed he would feel like a bird who had his wings clipped 
But I digress returning to the initial point I wished to make was this
Thanks to my Dad for in some way to me appears to resemble John Lennon
Because he is still to this day very famous luckily for me every now and then 
If only for a fleeting passing moment I don't have to actually imagine or remember what he
looked like

Shadow Sitting

It was an image, dark and eerily gray
  for a moment I was sure I knew her way
but within her shadowed distant face
 none revealed the treasures of her hidden grace;
there was no smile, no laugh or cry, 
 you could see the depth in her eyes,
only hair kept her discrete
 as life kept her well hidden and obsolete
neither twitch nor scorn allowed her to take her turn
 nor mend the heartbreak of love now long burned.
So, as you pass, 
 don't keep your eyes downcast
lookup and straight or miss your chance
 to offer comfort, empathy for her circumstance.

As I was sleeping on Christmas Eve,
I awoke, as I couldn't sleep!

 I listened closely and started laughing,
as I heard Santa rapping.

 "Oh I love my red new sled,
runs better than a thoroughbred!"

"It's equipped with a Garmin, to find the way,
No more getting lost, hip hip hooray!"

"The sled has air bags in case I crash,
and a cd player on my dash!"

"I have my laptop to receive all my requests,
The days of letters, are in the past!"

"I'm wearing special heated
boots, so I don't slip, when on the roof!"

"All the reindeer have head phones on,
and listen to their favorite rock songs."

"Mrs Clause text me when she misses me,
and I can't wait to see her and get naughty!" 

"Oh I love these new special glasses that allow
me to see through walls." It's better then
staring at Rudolfs Balls!"

"My futuristic Santa Suit keeps my privates warm,
doesn't matter if there is a cold, cold storm!"

"I just wish they would invent something to catch
the reindeer poop.
Because as I'm leaving the parents lookup, and
oooooops!"

A voice in the dark whispers

Foundation.

With uncertainty flowing like a molten volcano around the world, and online. 

Is it within dark times like these, we should try to bring more light into the world?

Title:

A voice in the dark whispers

Lookup
Not down

And be drawn
Into spiritual degradation

Or dark temptations
Linked to politics or the flesh
By the Red Dragon 

But to blue clouds
Filled with sacred tetragons

With belief in whatever you know as good, be held
In-Depth

For the son of Cronus and Rhea

Brother of Zeus and Poseidon
Grows ever near

To welcome you into his waterless Barren Lands

Delighting in unimaginable fear

So be
Precipitous

And look up to
Defeat the rolling Abyss
Ruled by Hades 

Hidden 
Within
Its mists

Espouse goodness
While you still
Live

Like a sweet Valentine's Day kiss

And try to avoid
The Void 

Filled with those 
Who now pay a hefty
Price

But enter into new lands of Spiritual Paradise

With your selfless acts
Of kindness and self-sacrifice 

Will you try to do good?

Or will you follow those who will suffer bitterness, when a star called, Wormwood, 
Falls?
