. . . end of the night


Silver flecks sprinkled through
The azure sky.
Something was in the air
I couldn't describe.
Little compares even remotely.
What will we feel later?

On the other end of the . . .
All is done and said before light.
It may seem to change when we're
On the other end of the night.

And though it's always dark
At the close of each day.
These are the very hours
Encumbrances weigh upon the calm
Spoiling the stillness.
Seems like a world's crashing.

It's all perspective.
How do you see
What has direct bearing on you?
Oh what a difference;
An hour, a day, a night makes;
Makes all things new;
Clears all air if you just realize.

Don't let a dark despair
Color what lies ahead.
A new tomorrow waits
Up around the next bend.
Just be prepared.
A new beginning's,
With the new dawn, waiting.

Other End

Instrumental . . .

https://spinditty.com/genres/Instrumental-Hits-of-the-80s

. . . version (from Chromatose) . . . lyrics below for you to sing along



You never want to have to hear a word
From me again
Never want to have to see my face
At your door
If there's so much as the mention of
My name
You can feel an uncontrollable
Fit of pain
I'm the one
That you said
You would love
Til the bitter end

This must really be
This must really be the end
Nothing could be fitter
This must really be
This must really be the end
Make no mistake it's bitter

You never want us to be seen again
In public places
Can't explain it to another friend
How it goes
You say there's torment that you feel inside
From many things
I can tell you that I still don't know
What that means
Long ago
We were friends
Far removed
From this bitter end

There's no candy coating
To make it go down easier
Not so simple to digest
No bright colors and no
Exotic flavors sweetening
What you see is what you get

You never want to have to hear a word
From me again
Never want to have to see my face
At your door
If there's so much as the mention of
My name
You can feel an uncontrollable
Fit of pain
With one fell
Swoop you sent
Me direct to the bitter end

When . . .

. . . will it ever end . . .


Good people called it black
He says it’s white
They said he never would
He said he might
When will it ever end

Out of the questioned seemed
Prospect to be
Taking it seriously
Were very few
Like make-believe


When

Not Quite . . .

. . . a shutdown . . .

. . . but history CAN teach a lesson . . .


(from Thomas Jefferson;  The Art of Power by Jon Meacham)
". . . the beginning of wisdom, Jefferson thought, might lie in a meeting of the principals out of the public eye. Se he convened a dinner. Jefferson believed things could be worked out, he said, for :men of sound heads and honest views needed nothing more than explanation and mutual understanding to enable them to unite in some measures which might enable us to get along. . . No deal meant disaster. It was clear, Jefferson wrote, "that if everyone retains inflexibly his present opinion, there will be no bill passed at all for funding the public debts, and ... without funding there is an end of the government . . ."

Sprawl . . .

Sit, lie or fall
With one's legs and arms spread's
The definition of sprawl
But that's not what I said
When a city has sprawl,
Something hard to comprehend,
You can't see a beginning
It spreads out to no end

Endings . . .

You hear the train a'comin'
When you've finally reached a place
You've been heading for a long time
It bring a calmness to your face

Your debt is paid
Behavior good
No one's been cheated
It ends as it should

It's coming quickly
Hard to comprehend
Only weeks are remaining
But I can now see the end

Not So Much. . .

. . . a regret, but simply an observation . . .


Things imagined
Things desired
Youth's imagination
From so countless
Directions fired

But life is truly
Not one taken lightly
So gravity inevitably
Exercises its option
Sometimes not so slighly

And dreams
Although good
Must be relegated
Back further in the queue
Relinquishing where it formerly stood

As the end fast approaching
Wants to now get acquainted
and the years have provided
Many lessons to mull
Seems that life is quite good
When you're proud of your choices
But the brain can't help ponder
Each leap and each lull


Heart Purge Two

You never want to hear. . .

. . . another word from me again. Never wanna have to see my face at your door. If there's so much as the mention of my name, you can feel an uncontrollable fit of pain. I'm the one that you said you would love til the bitter end. This must really be, this must really be the end. Nothing could be fitter. This must really be, this must really be the end. Make no mistake, it's bitter.

You never want us to be seen again in public places. Can't explain it to another friend how it goes. You say there's torment that you feel inside from many things.

Maybe I'm Milking It, but. . .

. . .I can't help it.

THE END OF THE WORLD

Why does the sun go on shining?
Why does the sea rush to shore?
Don't they know it's the end of the world,
'Cause you don't love me any more?

Why do the birds go on singing?
Why do the stars glow above?
Don't they know it's the end of the world.
It ended when I lost your love.

I wake up in the morning and I wonder,
Why everything's the same as it was.
I can't understand. No, I can't understand,
How life goes on the way it does.

Why does my heart go on beating?
Why do these eyes of mine cry?
Don't they know it's the end of the world.
It ended when you said goodbye.

Why does my heart go on beating?
Why do these eyes of mine cry?
Don't they know it's the end of the world.
It ended when you said goodbye.

Posting this one early. . .

. . . just in case the world DOES end tonight, maybe you'll be able to read one more blog from me.

Well, what can I say? The only thing that bothers me about this whole WORLD ENDING TONIGHT thing is that a massive unforeseen earthquake (or other disaster), or cosmic crash, or stray meteor or WHATEVER could happen at ANY TIME. It's just a friggin' fact. That's what it's all about to be a human being in the year 2011. NOTHING IS CERTAIN. No Bible, no Quran, no Pentateuch, no Vedas, no Raelian rantings, no Golden plates - NO ANYTHING that is truly infallible nor factual. It's just we human beings in our frail, human, mortal, self-awareness. The more of us that realize that soon - THE BETTER.

BTW, someone put up a pet care website which was pretty smart. They charge a fee to take care of the pets of we sinners when we're gone and they're probably making a killing. That's the Amer-i-can way!!!
PET CARE FOR SINNERS
