Old Father Time
Ask me a question for I will not lie
I know everything he said with a sigh
Why water is wet and continually flows
That’s an easy question if your in the know
Why winds move around and never stand still
I’ll tell you reason if you’ve time to kill
And what of the day that turns into night
For I can tell you just where went the light
But alas you’ve no moments to take this repast
But my offer still stand for the answers are cast
So ask me a question and I will not lie
For I know all things and that’s why I sigh
As I watch the same mistakes….
SEASHELLS
A WHISPERING BREEZE
SWEEPS THE SAND
AN EBBING TIDE
REVEALS ITS HAND
FOR THERE EXPOSED
FOR ALL TO SEE
ARE TINY MOLLUSKS
OF THE SEA
ONCE COVERED TIGHT
BY NATURES BAND
NOW CAST A DRIFT
BY TIDES DEMAND
SEABIRDS GORGE
UPON THIS FEAST
THE SCATTERED SHELLS
THEIR HOSTS RELEASE
NOW EMPTY SPACE
OF LIVES SET FREE
TIL ALL AT ONCE
AGAIN WE SEE
THE SEA RECLAIM ITS PRIZE
Solar Lights
Solar lights reduce the dark
Whilst casting shadows that leave no marks
Then all at once within their glow
They give to me a night time show
Bats in flight that swoop and climb
Whilst telling all its feeding time
As insects gather around each light
Bats take their fill with sheer delight
And what was thought a gently scene
Now turns into a nightmare theme
The strong survive or so they say
So they can fight another day
But all this seems to say to me
Is life is just a lottery
Were bats have a winning ticket
