Echoes

Echoes of water
Screeching through the ears
A child in the hands of a lake,
then surface,
Only to hear echoes of life.


The Book of Beauty

The book of beauty 
Has a poem 
Written in our 
Tears of joy 
And tells the story of life 
Swirling in the hands of time.

In the Hands of Prometheus

where does
evil rest assure
but
in the hands
of our
advisors
administrators
magicians and
court jesters or
fire in the
hands of
Prometheus

Wasted

Sealed in a bottle and tossed out to the sea...Ha! my poem found in the hands of a beast!

A Frosty Stare

Roy and Rita Snow encountered a great scare
A hair dryer in the hands of a hungry hare
Their noses were at stake
Rita began to shake
Roy chased him away with a broom and frosty stare

Premium Member Impressions

the sweet innocence of children
in the hands of their parents
to be molded by example
influenced day to day
eager for attention
curious nature
funloving
naïve
joy

Premium Member Pity the Poor Women

Pity the poor women of Afghanistan
In the hands of the ruthless Taliban
Repressed and put down
In a shapeless black gown
At the disposal of any overbearing man.

Premium Member A Shiny Dime - Nursery Rhyme

Katy had a shiny dime
She placed it in the hands of time
  The clock struck twelve
  Rang out sweet chimes
Her dime a diamond -- so sublime

Premium Member The Cure

We've extended great thought to cure bodies and minds, yet the well-being of our souls still rests in the hands of God. The lack of that understanding could be why so many spend so much time in recovery...

Surgery

Cut me cut me! Oh scalpel of thy surgeon,
Expose my inner organs to the world to see,
As I lay on the operating table helplessly,
My life now lies in the hands of those standing over me,
I live if they did right and I die if they don’t.

Key

Kept safe in the hands of Love  
Ever to be locked and guarded - a vault of Peace
Yes - only to be unlocked by the art of love

Insomnia

I cannot sleep through the night,
I am an insomniac,
All my thoughts come to life,
And stab me in the back,
I try to think like normal people 
But all that comes to mind
Is that we are ticking time bombs 
In the hands of Father Time.

A Time To Dream

Some say we’re in the hands of fate
But decisions yet to come
Will only prove that we create
The people we become

The future has an unseen face
And vague as it may seem
These years are ours to find a place
This is our time to dream

Premium Member A Fitting Prayer

Someday. In old age.
My well-being will be in the hands of: 
Underpaid cutters and x-addicts 
serial texters and sadists
tide pod eaters-assorted derelicts
the odd minister, 
lost Christmas carolers...

I pray to remain somewhat fit.

Oranges of the afternoon



Hospital waiting room in the afternoon 
Tired flowers looking after the patients
Saplings emerging from the interaction 
Oranges in the hands of the sun as it sets

Ocean Blue

Azure blue ocean that seems to mesmerise me
I wonder why you and I couldn’t be
Deep calls to deep
My soul fell into a silent sleep
Washed in crystal waters
Clay pressed in the hands of the potter
A new me and you 
Lost in the deep deep blue

I Am Nothing

I am nothing but a plain pen in the hands of the Great King
A simple sparrow, singled out solely to solemnly sing...
from the rising of the rainbow, to the release of the rainfall ring;
from the setting of the sun and the springing of seeds in Spring

Licentia Libertas

Libertas in the hands of warlords, 
natural hardship, in the name of war,
License to kill.

For those who can gain lots,
obtained legislative favor,
overall pattern of bill.

Even rogue army cords.
In the end of guns gore, 
Bloody warheads refill.

Relax

Relax and take it all in
The day is nearing its end

Don't worry about your job
Just leave it in the hands of God

There is more to worry about than time to care
Give yourself a break; it's only fair

Relax and take it all in
The day is nearing its end

Don'T Be a Puppet

For how long will you live like this?
A puppet in the hands of others!

Your happiness and sadness is
decided by how others behave!

It is high time you changed yourself,
then only you can be always happy!

Extant

A drunk man stumbles out of any bar 
Looks at a sky marred with stars 
Inside looks he, a void he spys 
Tears brim fragmented eyes
He feels it-- 
Bestowed burden cumbersome

In the hands of man-- 
The brand,
To think  
To be  
To become 
To not... 
Is him  
Is we

Calla Lily

Lone Lily Unfurled in quiet repose Grasped in the hands of the damned Held under chin to capture the soul Closed in the darkness Of satin lined box Never again to be gazed upon It’s sweet scent lost to the living Slowly fading as flesh melts And all that remains……

Come Along

Come my love lets pledge 
Our love may grow with time n age
May we together  set an example 
Earnest seeking be  ample

Although all  is in the hands of fate
Love we will  till last date
Our desires we will  try to fulfill
Never  hurt  or desert but love we will 
Give  eachother till we breathe our last

More Morning Thoughts Miracle Man 4-26-2022 I know that all time is in the hands of God, and when I squander this time, thinking about things I can no longer do. HE quickly redirects my thoughts toward life’s accomplishments, (blessings) and the things health still allows me to do.
