a reach for hope

a twisted strand held tight in hand
a mighty wrench to pull inch by inch
a majestic view from heights pure blue
i climb this endless rope to reach a time of endless hope

misplaced reason

Reason will always find a way
to say: stay home today,
it's dangerous out.
Don't give in to doubt.

i flew once
i was very young then
intoxicated with hope and luck
but reason got the best of me

misplaced Dreams

Flight like Icarus' was fun
until he found his flight was done
as waxy wings beneath the sun will melt
when youthful arrogance will fly too high

That's it in part but
There fear also lurks in the heart
And if we build high up
We can see our enemies as they depart

Despairing world true,
yet saw a kind soul in you,
child sharing his own toy,
with another stranger boy.

planet earth is a terrible place
the human race is a big disgrace
if this is all that we can do
a fiery sea fits right in too

Wondering 'bout the world
And the ways it lets us be
After climbing mountains, we
Are the shiny and the pearled

Ecstacy is feeling free
To reach for the sky
And stretch and climb
Not fearing to fall and die

RE: RE: Dreams

why do we feel the need to climb
to build our homes on high?
Could it be a wish that we,
like Icarus, might fly?

I Hope so

Toys to share are part of the plan
to make as many friends as I can,
but sometimes people just don't care,
no matter what I have to share.

in this place no one burns out
it's where we come to be
healed, repaired, patched up again
beside the fiery sea.

only to have finish last

or should i simply call it a night

Dreams

I ran so hard...so hard and then more,
And I jumped high into the sky,
Then gravity rumbled and I tumbled and tumbled,
And my ecstasy drowned in my eye.

sticks and stones

Wasting time on worthless people
is a pastime to get past,
fun for awhile to tease and provoke them,
but unkindness doesn't last.

People who are cruel to me
are quickly shown the door.
I don't waste precious time on those

sleeping in Valhalla

I can drowse off any time
Wagner drones away.
His heavenly singers just aren't swingers.
I always seem to stray.

Try sleeping in Valhalla, with vikings fighting for fun.
We never get a chance to relax until the slaughter is done.
Haven't they had enough already?
Even on Earth, their concerns were petty.
