When things go this way
I pray
Oh God come to my aid
 Faith,
Hope fade
Giving up to praise
Whenever Jesus delays.

Hope
       it is a feather
       blown., 
       slides at random...
       delays...
       but ever
       Will arrive ...
       One day ... !...

At the wheel he gets carried away
ending up on the busy highways
goes very slow
horns start to blow
his lawnmower causing traffic delays.

Date due, destruction
Building being blownup
Father flipping furious
Tramp tries to tamper
Delays dangerously diagnosed
Short supply sandbags
Try tomorrow,Tuesday,...

As Autumn delays, I await 
Winter's crystal snowflakes
With delight, I anticipate
Skating on frozen lakes

Golden leaves turning red
Bare tree limbs I will dread
But I will look ahead 

To chillier days
As Autumn delays...

Transit or destination
I take anything ahead of me
Delays don’t rile me
No terminus will be final
Over my shoulder are memories
Ahead of me are more dreams
Less sorrys
More stories
For good I leave the keys
One way ticket please...

Two lanes are forced to merge to one
So traffic's slowly crawling;
On sunny summer weekends
Such delays are quite appalling.

For miles and miles we creep along - 
The cars, the vans, the trucks;
I think we'd all agree
That road construction really sucks!...

Does it matter what I say, unless I'm here one day? Not just to play, rather to learn how to live life together Day to day. To give love a chance to relearn and practice the art of romance. To know someone is there, not wondering where. No more delays, God showing us the way....

myopic, feaful
    wading pools of life
  bubble-bath comfy
    drown out strife  

  urban jungles... pristine meadows
    intimidating shadows
  sans lever
    cocoon's forever
 
  sleep-in days
    commencement delays
  kicked to the curb
    do-not-disturb ......

First world culture, Fourth Generation Rights
Travel and you must adjust: to avoid fights
And delays in "customer care," we declare:
"Sorry to bother you; I need my wages." Beware:
The first world mentality: "Do not grovel." We all do -
Some are commonplace, others disguise as culture...

By air, land or sea
people have longed to achieve
some fond memories
mostly still travel by car
dire straits wont get you too far

Snarled traffic delays
driving round the holidays
sit and grit your teeth
you watch gas tank go to "E"
bladder bursting at the seams!

The passage of time

moves forward with no delays.

No luck altering its path-

set fast in its ways,

it rules the highway of life

embracing lanes- to and from

Glutinous IT oozes, seeping IT displays
Odious IT's intent, to trap and waylays
Onwards to IT's purpose, IT suffers no delays
As darkness descends, IT could be end of days
IT circuitously trapped us, in IT's complex ways
Grotesquely IT's inhuman, as our skin IT flays

Somewhere, in a garden of clouds
     My thoughts, like seeds, are scattered
Wondering what ideas will root
     What theme will have been flattered
 
Sometimes, when drought delays the stem
    And doubt and worry dim the sun
I ask for rain and then I wait
    Notions, like flowers, soon are spun...

THE JOURNEY
I am in a journey 
And I pray one day
I shall have safe arrival,
But while the flight delays
I pick between this and that 
And I pray I pick the best
I am on a journey, and I pray I meet all my goals 
Before my flight moves,
But if not, tell my friends
I would have loved to see them....

S eptember the first month of fall
E njoys still some balmy days.
P retty asters in full bloom
T rusting that Jack Frost delays.
E very tree of crimson color
M ust lose its leaves to wind and rain.
B aring branches to the weather,
E nduring wintry blasts again.
R esistance will but cause them pain....

The cat pregnant
Under the cupboard 
tasting comfort
resting assured

All seems better
until this sleeping queen 
feels the hunger
and the belly delays her meal.



Context: whenever our cat gets pregnant she goes under the cupboard and has a very difficult time coming out cuz her baby bump gets stuck....

rain turned snow
                    late arrival
                    heavenly fall of flakes
                    delays spring
                    asks another time when
                    spring delays
                    flakes of fall heavenly
                    arrival late
                    snow turned rain...

Going up and down in an elevator
Furiously walking, getting off and climbing through stairs
I've got an urgent appointment

The higher I go
The closer to death
Everything around is falling apart
There's one window of opportunity
To escape the whole ordeal

Panicked, sweat rush
A new passenger gets on
She delays my entry
Indefinately......

How true is the saying that youth is eternal and glorious only for some,
when hearts are free of worries, they know nothing of human pain;
fantasy suddenly begins and dusk that brings night delays to come...
and as wild and incredible it might seem, it always recalls home!
Youth must be lived, not wasted, but be reveled in happy refrain....
