In the middle of the night
When everything is still
I awoke to hear a tapping noise
On the window sill
Tap, Tap, Tap
And tapping once again
I cowered under my eiderdown,
Hoping it was the sound of rain.
My imagination
Was running riot
Who expects visitors
In the middle of the night?
Can it be the Grim Reaper?
Checking up on me
Who could hear my heavy breathing?
And visited me to see
If it was time for the collection
Of another soul
Perhaps his nightly selection
Needed to reach a goal.
I was cold
Shivering and shaking
I wanted to be bold
But that was too big an undertaking,
Help me, please,
Where did that word come from,
Please don't tease
I'm not feeling fit and strong
I'm getting weaker
And this night goes on and on.
Praying that Grim Reaper
He has got tired of waiting and gone.
My heart has stopped pounding,
My breathing is steady
I feel warmer
And my eyes feel heavy.
Where am I?
I'm lying cosily in bed,
Oh, thank goodness
I must have dreamt that I was dead.
In a moment of my life, I have deemed what is an appropriate
course of action that will be undertaken, upon official notice of
my demise, be delivered by my appointed legal bearers of this
instrument by me, "Decedent's Final Decree", hence, forthwith
Familial bloodline, via eldest et al., bearing equal value,
I chose my remnants not bounded by earth presence, for
the shiny box that serves to entertain lives once known,
will someday, come crashing all about my then existence.
No scentless flowers to adorn the unseen, or due visits.
Instead, free me from this earthly existence and beyond
to the shores where the sea greets it with genteel surges.
A distance hence, paddle my remains to the azure expanse.
Its waves be my tombstone, its currents flows in my veins,
As the vast life below restores my being, until my final call.

The thunder quaking
While there were structures shaking
And pieces of lumber breaking
During this undertaking
I would leave no others waiting
Down on their luck and stuck, in the gutter while its raining
Are we cursed?
As others in the sea surf
It could really be worse
But value the extreme worth
Of such teamwork
That could lead to a green earth
It's difficult to fathom
So imagine
What could happen
If everyone had more enthusiasm
And compassion
As if it spread like a chain reaction
Would there be satisfactions
In a place with the vastest canyons
So what if I'm seen as reclusive
One can inspire a movement
That pushes for improvement
No matter what, I will prove it
Even when it's hot and humid
And time for consuming extra fluids
You better take a good look at yourself and be honest about what you did
M-ammoth undertaking
E-manates from climbing a hill;
A-s you need faith, hope, and love to do the Lord God's will.
M-ammoth undertaking
I-s living a life on earth;
N-atural and emotional
D-isaters bring no mirth.
O-n January thirty-first, find the luck and blessing;
G-oing on in this world is a mammoth undertaking.
Whatever you’re undertaking or whatever
You have been trap by,
You can use this as a step to climb.
Use your freedom and free will to do things
While you are in that situation. In this moment time
Ask God to guide you and be with you.
In that passing time, God moves unnoticeable.
Be persistence and be good, do what’s right.
Let the circumstances standing by at your side.
Meditate and concentrate of what you are doing today.
Because, what’s in your today, is what in your future be.
Whatever your devastation is, God is in charge.
God can transform it into a triumph.
Every word of God is pure, put your trust in him.
Focus to him.

I'm standing here looking around
I cannont clear my minds apparatus
I only have one eye open
I cannot escape this painful status
I try to look the other way
And pretend that I can't see
But this pain won't retreat
My soul will never be free
But it's ok
I let it happen to me
Is it a crime? Forget it
We weren't meant to be
So as i sit here in pitty
I reminisce on the past
How did i get to this debacle
And now become the outcast
I look upon myself
And ask if I should continue
Or should I give up
And pick out my own venue?
In ventures dates arise and forth
Musky as tortures I swinging
Quasi I view myself hate or enrich
Who by pigeonholed proof been
Of actives kinship thy bachelors
Around I try within of ranged vibrantly
Indeed, handle as matters upon
the dressed encipher it dealt
Tho doubts or widely inquiries
And sinlessly lo ways ...
In state did so hornily, so straight.
And jealous by signify, foes smelled
up, the elegy crucial for her, and obvious
Culled off mine attends thy bachelor.
What profane allegory
consensus signing faith
the buckler ogliarchy
so masters with sedate.
My trust from intertwining
does register as hate
the cost of life's defining
is acrimony's state.
So leadership, from this the spell
resolves my hopes abate
while following is mustered
like alimony ~ late!
So married to divining
could be the only wait
as hell bespeaks, confining
my courage of relate!
Inaptitudes refining
the mast exaggerate
to change the world's designing,
I must of self, be fate!
And hold the victor, signing
my cause not underrate
tomorrow's hope consigning
this daily undertake!
Of ventures dates arise and forth
Musky as tortures I swinging
Quasi I view myself hate or enrich
Who by pigeonholed proof been
Of actives kinship thy bachelors
Around a try within of vibrantly range
Indeed, handle as matters upon
A dress code dealt
Thus as doubts or widely inquire
And sinlessly lo ways
In state done so hornily, so straight
And be jealous in signify a foe wan
Culled up essential by her, and obvious
Culled off mine attends of bachelor.
