A horror bared, lived
with suddenness
over it all comes an end
for earth people are ego ruled
scare them the holy old
all, poor and rich are money slaved
in near future, well know you troubled
those who feel it are exiled!
See tomorrow's day
Seek tomorrow's prize
The sun gives way to the storm
The suddenness of surprise
Calmness will return
Life itself survives
Yesterday has taught us well
Sermons summarize
Today whether bad or good
It's presence we strive
Pray with faith
That fate be realized.
As darkness fell with suddenness,
the sun slid behind the blood moon.
Sounds of nightlife emerged off tune.
You flaunted your unevenness,
emboldened by dark drunkenness.
Your twisted mind a fierce monsoon
as darkness fell.
You came with sulky sullenness
and brought your foul humor jejune.
You played the part of grisly goon
and had lost all your humanness
as darkness fell.
There was once absolute darkness, or ‘a mass of nothingness’.
But then there was ‘A Suddenness’; and since then, there has always been ‘something’; here, there, and literally everywhere.
There will never be total chaos, annihilation, or complete obliteration.
Some look around and see doom; others look up and observe sparkles of hope.
05032016 PS Contest, “Nothingness”, Julia Ward
The coins clinked in front of him, then clanked
the same coins that, as a child, had delighted him
Today merely clinked; today merely clanked
the joy drained from counting his puny fortune...
Sensing an epiphany, he brushed the coins away
sat there, chin resting on his elbows, elbows on the table
startled aware, suddenness sweat-laden, that no longer
was the world content to wait for him to blossom
DISCOVERIES
Along a summer street crammed to bursting point
By an indifference of brick walls -
I come across a suddenness of dandelions
On a bulding site after the rain falls.
A sea beach filled by desertion
And rock pools half-buried,
With a rusty shell casing abandoned
In retreat by ranks serried.
Rain and sea offer nothing
New, merely reveal near-forgotten
Implants in the stream of time sodden .
BEACH MUSIC
Shells swish and scrape, popping
And bubbling in submerged suddenness.
Seaweed to and fro floating, slopping
On the deepening waves - an untidy mess.
Ebb-tidal pebbles chuckle chuckle, then
Rock and roll in brine-fuelled highs
Swept up the beach and all swept down again
Like line dancers ( remember those guys? )

pleasure i seek without you
pain i get from the thorns of curiosity
when i knock again, your blessing answers the door
i say nothing and leave to take a walk through the woods
i never look back and i quickly forget your name and telephone number
it is then that something in the auspices of suddenness clicks
life has no stoplight and even less mercy
realization can be a light seldom seen
growth i discovered despite you....
The suddenness of desertion,
the emptiness of time
Abandoning each moment,
as clocks strike their chime
And wherego the hours,
once used and cast off
Are there auctions and markets
for each second that’s lost
And who’s to recount
the old wishes unprayed
With days ever changing,
and voices relayed
The end a beginning,
the beginning an end
To drift in its circle
—time never respent
(Dreamsleep: September, 2020)
Once I was a young girl with dreams
Pleasure of mine sometimes went to extremes.
Priorities grew to where they needed to be.
Others around me knew I wanted to succeed.
Reality kicked in as I got older
Then I was diagnosed with bipolar
Under my sadness and all my stubbornness.
New, to the quick suddenness
Into the military is where I joined
Then new experiences conjoined
Yet eleven years later, discharged medically, i wish I still served.
