From my Mother :)

Freeze!
   PAUSE.

Don't move a muscle

Hurry up and stand still
It's almost time to shine

Thru the hustle and bustle

Get Paid
   Rent made
Don't hesitate to act
Hurry up and move
Opportunity knocks but won't wait for an answer
Get in through the back door

Open
   Body

For the use of others

It's not that hard
   You will discover

Learned it all from my mother

Good vibes good vibes
this is a good vibe tide

Away carried and pulled

an undertow
of good

No point try to Resist
                              Swim
                                    Or Fight

Just Ride the Tide

Past Love

Make love to the past
   Hold it tight
      Keep it fast

Let it feel your caress
   Your tears of loneliness
      Knowing the past is gone

Gone are the times just one year ago
Gone is the innocence only a child doth know
Gone are the friends who no longer care
Gone are the breaths and each gasp of air

Memoirs of love, both rough and smooth
Memories of places and people who moved

Hold it tight
   Then let it go
It's just a passing t

Valley Forge Sunset

Flag drifts in a July sunset                                               ________
                                                                                       |====|__|
Rising taller than any tree,                                              |======|
    although the forest doth surround                              |======|
                                                                                                       |
My only company                                                                            |
                                                                                                       |
The chirping birds                                                                           |
       The lovely owl hooting out whispers of the comming evening                                

Deer graze in the plains
      a full family at peace in the wild                   

Clouds kiss the sun as the light begins to change

                        First
                       fading
                   as the rays
            are eclipsed slowlllllllly
by the roatation of the earth below my feet

The flag continues to wave

HIGH AND PROUD

13 stripes
50 stars

A powerful sybol of a great dream

Waves to me in the distance as the clouds gobble up the sun

This great day
is now done

Hope

The one thing to keep always is hope

It can pull out misery like a life rope

Without it the only options options are to hate or to mope

To live a good life, you must always have hope

Passing Waters

When the flood waters pass
   And the streams all run clear
Use a compass
   To redirect fear

Washed away so much
   Doubts only remain
Open God's touch
   To all of your pain

It can sooth and revive
   Refresh and renew
To those who survive
   It comes right on cue

Let not the waters
   Sweep all hope downstream
Let not the plotters
   Do acts unseen

Clear as the stream
   Just after a storm
Justice is given
   By no humans born

The flood has now come
   To cleanse until pure
No place to run
   Can't hide behind doors

Out in the open
   Our true selves are swept
Some show a grin
   Others have wept

Wept for the truth
   For innocence lost
Tears for gone youth
   To Hard reality tossed

Oh woe are the waters
   Overflowing with shit
Truth is a starter
   To try and clean it

We all play a part
   A duty, a ROLE
Trust in your heart
   Not public poles

The pollution has risen
   Toxic and green
This world we were given
   The earth, skies and seas

A flood of emotion
   Frustration overflow
No cure-all potion
   For the problems we sow

A wake up call
   To the masses asleep
We're all so powerfull
   With the knowledge we keep

The flood will reside
   The waters run clean
Remain pure inside
   And the music you'll hear

    I love poetry.

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