for the whole month of January

A Phase

Moments is just a phase,
Devastation will not always be faced,
Joy is everywhere in place,
And the cycle will repeat it's phase.

The 10 O'Clock News

The television,
tells me of too much bad news.
I'm afraid to watch,
for fear that my tears won't stop.
Devastation of this world.

Shadows only remain
Where life stood its ground
Far above their air
Its devastation burned down

Destroying hopes and anticipations

The overkill of rainstorm
with threat of life and limb; trees
swivel, sway, dancing, falling
with wake of devastation rising.

In the bar room’s bliss,

`Tis great aggravation,

For many fists I've kissed,

With my face of devastation.

windblown giant
turbulent tornado
blazing a sharp path

kicking away cars
rolling whole houses
pure devastation

hiding in culvert
my face in wet claylike mud

Lost In Myself

Kinder in the hart so swollen As I walk though thought and wishes
Searching for salvation in devastation and destruction 
Looking back when words were less dreary
Only finding a purpose

No Heartbeat, No Sound

No Heartbeat, No Sound
A world turned upside down.
From joy and elation, to sadness and devastation
No words from friends can comfort the loss
No Heartbeat, No Sound
Her world turn upside down

Sensation

Greedy media give us sensation: the four horsemen who bring devastation. But if they were to stop, do a bad-good news swap, we’d bemoan Armageddon’s cessation.

Premium Member too little too late

the pulse of humanity
shudders in throbbing pain
meanwhile muffled cries of hopelessness
await redemption as tears of time
may possibly wash away
man's devastation

The devastation is beyond comprehension Little can be done to control its dimension Fort McMurray is ablaze For relief we all pray As the tragedy continues in spite of intervention

Nonsense Or Lucid

A moment of hesitation
While letting words flow
Leaves a path of devastation 
with nowhere to go.

My thoughts are fluid
some nonsense if jumbled
others are truly lucid.
writing has me humbled

Fearless Excavation!
Dirt flies into the air.
Turtle Devastation, 
As he digs a muddy lair.

Mindful Contemplation.
Winter weather is quite near.
Springtime Fascination
Is when turtle reappears.
