The Spirit of Longsuffering
Oh, how I thought this life was a sentence,
forbidden to serve, for this, my life-time.

I look upon my life and sing
a song of living hope and love.
Within my heart there is a zing

The softest cushions on my chair,
a spark of stars to light my coal.

UtterlyUtterly joyful when daffodils bloom
Winter is banished we live in the light

Going UndergroundWe were getting old, our minds still quite sound
Just one more move before we’re glory bound
We made the decision to look around
For a unique place to build underground
It was harder than we thought it would...

Cost Of LivingHave you priced a roast or a stake lately,
or had to fill your tank with gasoline?

Fighting Fire with MolotovsTight stretched skin, not unlike leather parchment
Adorned with scars and burns and such carvings
Among the colors, red ink's enrichment
Envelops a file cabinet's burnings
Advice from the mental advisory
Suggests that all these thoughts be locked away

Black And WhiteReflecting naught yet absorbing all light,
black is not a color; it is a shade.
And black is perceived by our sense of sight
as darker pigments of varying grades.

and yet, the absence...

Past MistakesI often wondered how I came to be,
Brought up by relatives so far away,
My parents fought, in parting they were free,

Bye Bye Fat MeI can’t believe it’s really me
Waist to head, I’m a Christmas tree
From this fat, I’ll never be free
A healthy life I’ll never see
I gained a little here and there
And now the people seem to stare

Spring EmbraceEmbracing Spring after winter season
Dour skies for months with chilling cold weather
Summer dreams where roses are Elysian
Highland hills swept with grandeur of heather.

Landscape well crafted in burgeoning green
Winter is now completely...

of its own accord, a surreal mist,
which our tremulous heart slowly breathes in,
