WORDS

 
So many words just floating around,
like spectres on the prowl.
Pick a handful and see what's there,
Slowly open the fingers son none will escape.
The one that gets away may be the one you want.

Make sentences out of the floating words:
paragraphs, essays, and books. The
choices are unlimited: the words are free.
If there is one you do not want--
turn it loose.
It may be the one I need.

Now It Doesn't Matter

 

 

Now It Doesn't Matter

                                    

An orb of iridescent light

striding off into the dark of night
Glances down at the spots on the

ebony cloak it has donned tonight.    

Some specks of cosmic dust is all,
so small as not to matter.
No time to pause and flick them off,

It will have to wait til later.

Each insignificant little speck,
in it's own elliptical path, felt
smug in thinking it the leader.

The atmosphere around their world

neglected for so long
was to be their biggest downfall

The cloak is shook, the specks are gone.
Now it doesn't matter.

Yoda's word for the day

Yoda's word for the day

Calm is the way of the force,
peace is the way of it is,
always in motion, completing its course,
perfection is the goal of this spirit.
 

Learning its will, waiting until
the force speaks, the mind is but an ear,
looking not back, but forward, be still,
for your ally is here, do not fear,
love is the way of it, always one is harmony.
 

Together are they, do you not see?
Can they walk together unless they agree?
Use the force, take hold of your destiny.
Consider the force as the door to eternity.

A FRIEND IS FOREVER

A FRIEND IS FOREVER

A moment of silence, 

no need for

advertisement, 

a hand stretched forth,

without judgment of course. 

There is no

place for pride, 

where a friend resides,

some secrets are shared, 

to only those

ones who care. 

Love is the evidence, 

so we can not pretend this pre-tense, 

a movement of the soul,

each desiring to make each whole. 

Forgiveness is nothing new, 

this isbound to keep us true. 

A cry is never a surprise, 

when you realize your true prize,

that you have a friend, 

who loves without

end. How do you know who is your friend?

TIME will tell you, 

always. 

Truth comes out boldly, 

on any topic with friends, 

knowing that their secrets are kept inside. 

Lies appear when fear is present. 

True friends FEAR NOT, 

this is our evidence.
