Time Well Spent

Time Well Spent

Deep inside a book of dreams

where calm holds the river back,

candles grace the hourglass sand

while consciousness grows.

Knowledge over time, enlightens us.

Prescient Eyes in Time

Time beams from experienced eyes,

that mirror from departed souls,

those cusps of what’s about to come,

a prophesy they foretold.

“Awake now brother, to the fore,

take care of your mother and child,

the enemy’s come to take them,

your livelihood, land and wild.”

I’ve heard these words, they’ve gathered dust,

jumped atmospheres to this day,

familiar voices from my dreams,

returns and holds me in their sway.

The Road Before Me

 

The Road Before Me

Grey roads stretch before me with future to unfold,

bathed in golden promise and vision to behold.

Every step a lesson, with all I need to know,

guiding light surrounds me, my compass held in tow.

About this Poem: This poem is out of sync with what is really going on in this world, but it was once how I felt in my youth about the future and its prospects. Over the years I learned that the game was rigged and everything I tried to build was either taken from me or destroyed. Today I hold out no hope for the future as the criminals that run the planet are destroying everything including the lives and livelihoods that make up our communities…the dream of a bright future is now just ash and smoke…I wrote this because I felt nostalgic, but now it just makes me angry and bitter knowing I was lied to by Charlatans…

Faceless

Faceless

Words are lost in a sea of voices, as we all become fractal albino’s in chatrooms filled with the hearing impaired…

…the sign of the times…

About this Expression: It seems that many people on social media are talking at each other with political opinions that they believe are unassailable, yet at the same time, they become deaf when someone else presents an inconvenient truth that threatens to shatter their illusions...when we all just talk at each other with a closed mind, we become disconnected in a crowded house...Remember that not everyone is on the same page when it comes to understanding the bigger picture...keep your mind open when conversing with others, because sometimes we might not have all the facts and they just might have something important to say...
