Time interlopers
we reside wayside off course
twilight zone tickets...

Be to become a divine lover

all the trouble 
that it took to 
dig way into the
heart of the matter 
was fought all in vain 
cause in the bitter end 
it all fell to the wayside...

Another Love

You hold me in thrall
Charm me with your demeanor
And draw me to you
Like a kindergarten kid 
Is, by a wayside puddle.

He found a poetry lines written by the wayside 
They were lyrical pieces of elemental sweet ride 
So he hurriedly did post them
To the holy city of Bethlehem
Before he walked away full of pride...

the wayside flowers I see when passing through

never fail to touch my soul

God's offering to me

Master Artist

Wayside flowers bloom
Clouds float in an azure sky
Our Creator’s art

My dreams turn red fallen by a wayside
A change of heart
All for what?
Time flies
Quick
Now
Autumn’s
Fallen leaves
Dry as the breeze
Raking up a storm of forgotten leaves!

I only exist for rape
Deceipt to be my light
When God will make it love
and others hate the right

That God will have his vengeance
for others he will own
When love falls by the wayside
and God reclaims his throne...

" Lightening Bugs "
By: Tom Wright
8/17/03

Fireflies at evening on Zephyrs ride,
In courtship, they flash, as lightening.
Adrift o’er vale and wooded wayside,
Yet, as Gnomes, as day is brightening.

amidst the snow, this flower lies alone;
a symbol of love laid at the wayside, out in th cold;
given by one loved one to another, but now laid to rest;
alone in the snow, this symbol of love lays;
this symbol of love;
lost....

When Spring flowers,
in woodlands hereabout
reveal themselves,
archangels shout-
Im a weasel snout.

Inspired by the pretty woodland yellow archangel(Galeobdolon luteum) in a wayside woodland 
walk yesrterday in th Chiltern Hills....

Put me somewhere down your list



by the wayside
just a footnote

another screwed up number missing a name

on the train I am removed
putting you in context.

Take me to a place you make sense,
Loose another day
Screw up my number
do things your way...

Ocean gales and tidal shift
Pounding 
Basalt and sandstone mountains
Boulders 
Rocks tumble into pebbles
Mighty trees 
Uproot and splinter in Neptune's fury
Under my feet,  
Crumbled remains of life 
Ground to dust by the unrelenting ocean
Walking barefoot on tiny shards of glass...

A stored ripening sunlight,
opens veins under wet sods.

We are conveyed on the thaw,
upon the guttering soil
through the squelching narrows
of wayside hedgerows.

Spring mops and sops,
breezes furbish,
unlock a pearly dew
to melt the frosted prints
of paws and claws....

Visions
only in the dark
a stick
guides me down cobbled stone streets
fear once gripped me, now runs
coffee with phantoms
dead and blind make good friends

pretty lies
pretty dark
in darkness I hide
	             pretty skies


wine falls	
			wayside

	broken glasses...

A fallow tree stump
ritualized by the empty
Bath of Salvation
creeping painfully as if
thrown by the wayside
The retort of schoolchildren
smoothed by the evenness
of taken innocence
Arisen from a fruitless slumber
Clamoring for the germane
but destined to be wholly
irrelevant...

miles away from any town
deep darkness falls upon plains
wayside conversations
at the edge of a deserted highway
in solitude poets and lovers
new meanings sought
a blank page seeks its verse
stars and planets hide
the world turns toward light
revelations of dawn

withered
      frail
           old,
upon 
the wayside of life..
the stream
        of time 
floats by:
insights 
        unwanted
experience 
      ignored 
and 
      thus 
       the circle
of mistakes....
     revolve..
        and revolve....
         and.... revolve...

Looking on with disdain
At the wayside street urchin
We feel within us a pricking pain
From conscience to us one on the chin

Judging the other by outer appearance 
Unspoken thoughts veil not our intent
Where has gone innate innocence 
The play divine joyful & content

Lest I falter by the wayside,
Hold my hand and lift me up,
Help me endure the bitter cup
Taking your place near my side.
Never straying far from me
Being there for me when I’m sad,
Sharing my joy when I’m glad,
And I shall forever grateful be.

Over striding downs with grassy scrub
and into the trees with clumps of shrub

Beechwood,downlands and common heath
in earthy limeston inches beneath

The basil spreading six feet tall
by a freshwater spring ,trickling small

Along shaded lanes with gates and stiles
and wayside pubs,to rest awhile...

everyone’s entitled
to their fits of insanity
inappropriateness
rudeness
ignorance
that is~
everyone but me
heaven forbid
I should once
leave my smile
by the wayside
and let show
a hint of impatience
that just simply
wouldn’t do
