Illumination
We all run from out the dark
As we dance our light into the stars
Like lightening forks that have no end
We gain the force that will not bend
For we are part of all you see
The merest speck on eternity
Our higher selves will never fade
As to each new life we come to raid
For some will shine but not for long
As they bow out to the sirens song
Some may dim as if with age
While looking for that different page
But all will be illuminated.

Lost Buildings
Gone are the buildings that stood in my youth
Now lost to progress that pretends to be truth
And what of their history just crushed to the ground
Now covered with new life whose voice does resound
Perhaps I’m romantic to harp on the past
Though present is present and not meant to last
Except in the memory that sits in the mind
Which thinks of these things and treats them so kind
For none of life’s sadness can really remain
For all things we see forever will change
A tapestry made in seconds of time
That once they have been and now truly reside
Within a fractured thought.
Omens
What are these things called omens
What really do they say
As the world it spins around us
Lots will come our way
I won’t stand where there is danger
At least that which is known
But omens say keep moving
For there’s dangers that can roam
Be like the sea stay restless
And move from shore to shore
For mountain soon will wander
From where they where before
And stones can be quite heavy
As they tumble to the ground
So the omens say go sailing
And safety will be found
Perhaps the world is changing
Far beyond belief
But if you listen to the omens
You will not come to grief
