Tempest Passing

30/3/2011

0 Comments

 
The tempest raged
   The water fell
Down from the sky
   To fill the well

From which the people
   Draw and drink
The storm rage passes
   Within a blink

Blue skies then reign
   Sun shines out
Collecting Vit D
   In copious amounts

The plants and people
   Bow with joy
At the tempest and it's passing.

Wonderful Super Moon

19/3/2011

Tis a wonderful time to be alive
    As the super moon doth rise and rise

Only once in every 20 years
    Does the moon to earth  pass so near

To reflect the light of our blessed sun
    Down to earth and everyone

It's full and strong, a friend to me
     A piece of the earth's life trinity

The tides it causes keep us moving
    As it wanes and waxes so are we grooving

Our race progressing fast and well
    To where right now none can tell

Tis an exciting time to be alive
    As the super moon doth rise and rise

New tech will come to change the world
    Better for all the boys and girls

Upcoming in the years of next
    Is a new production process

It excites me much and pleases me more
    That we are breaking through this techno door

3D printing it thus is called
    Research and be well enthralled

For now I thank the moon and stars
    The sun, the earth, mankind and Mars

A balanced time is coming forth
    Where humans flow with the Universe

The energy, tpower, that exists in all
    Resistance melting to none at all

Connecting to people through time and space
    Uniting with the human race

I repeat this statement with a grateful heart
    The one I stated at the start

 Tis a wonderful time to be alive
    As the super moon doth rise and rise

Sing of Wellness

15/3/2011

Wellness rising from within 
   can make one want to sing sing sing.

Its possible some flem could hurt that plan 
   but I try and try as best I can can can

Fever passing through a cold damp night 
   sleep can make it right right right

Hours past and then arise 
   reach your body and open eyes

Grateful for fighting off sick
Grateful for this heart that ticks


Grateful for this body strong
Grateful for work days not long

White blood cells are cruisin' through, eating bacteria and viruses too

Gathering forces for the final fight, thankful for a restful night

Sickness passing to memory, eyes and head clearing nicely

Now the hardest part es fin, perhaps I will soon sing again

A Small Poem of Thanks

6/3/2011

0 Comments

 
A small poem of thanks for the good in this life
   A park bench in the sun thinking "isn't this nice"
A small child's laughter that rings of pure joy
   A lover's caress that's the real McCoy

For although there be ills and evils around
   Villains and thieves achieving renown
Crooks walking free, murderers get away
   None can compete with a beautiful day

I thanks all the trees for being so green
   I thank all the flowers for their color's seen
I thanks all the birds for the songs in my ears
   I thanks all the sadness for the truth in my tears

Music and painting and sculpture oh my
   Machines that allow us to reach for the sky
Computers connect with no distance to great
   Plants, animals and farmers who make hunger abate

The kindness of strangers
The empathy of friends
Respecting the dangers
A big thanks to send

For this body is strong
This breath keeps on breathing
This life it is great
And all love is receiving

Thank You.

    I love poetry.

    It can be whimsical or epic, unbearably long or just two memorable lines, mature and dark or light and childish.
