Meteors . . .


Meteors that come once a year;
Quite a show of fireworks 
When you’re there to see them.
Shooting stars fantastically glow.
All too soon no one can say
Where they are or gone to.

Back on earth we average reside.
Most of us will never know such adoration.
So I go my ordinary way.
Do my job and feed my kids;
This world and wonder.

Dust and gas -
That’s what they’re made of.
Why all the fascination?

Fabulous! They’ll take your breath away.
They will dazzle with their style 
And their savoir faire.
Improvise; they make their own moves.
All the cattle follow close 
Behind from the pasture.

Why couldn’t I be
One among those many millions?
Why can’t someone see
My astrological worth?
What causes the sea
Of heavenly bodies to glow like they do?
Shining so brightly for me and for you.
Sooner or later they burn themselves out
But oh so beautifully.

Meteors have nothing to fear.
From their distant firmament
They shine for the masses.
Safe above, removed from earthly life,
From uncertainty that lines the 
Cloth of our mortal existence.

Joyride . . .


Flood and ebb, we find the tide
A tangled web extended wide.
Half or quarter, take the step.
Get in the car for a joyride.

Groove . . .

 


Being and living, just for yourself,
Avoiding pure selfishness, will surely behoove.
If you're good at it, do it, whenever you can,
As if you've got nothing to prove. 
Maybe all will not like, but respect many will.
Contentment abounds when absorbed in your groove.

We . . .

Which side are you on?
Choose just one or the other.
God forbid you should think for yourself.
Sure there’s strength.
Yes there’s strength in the numbers.
But sometimes, you must go it alone.

Are you a them-ist?
Maybe an us-ist?
One or the other.
Decision time,
Which will it be? (What about WE?)

There’s a world out there
And it’s teeming with wonder.
At your fingertips is the power to learn.
But you must possess
A sincere kind of yearning
To know what is real from what either one says.

So much variety.
So many choices 
To simply settle for just one or the other.
Black or white;
Just left or right.
It’s chocolate or vanilla that we have.

We’ve got shit
That requires taking care of.
More important things
Than which side wins the game.

Beers . . .

. . .  from tears

(from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood,_toil,_tears_and_sweat#:~:text=Churchill's%20sentence%2C%20%22I%20have%20nothing,man%2C%20Churchill%20had%20considered%20writing)
". . . Churchill's sentence, "I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat," has been called a paraphrase of one uttered on 2 July 1849 by Giuseppe Garibaldi when rallying his revolutionary forces in Rome: "I offer hunger, thirst, forced marches, battle, and death." As a young man, Churchill had considered writing a biography of Garibaldi. The circumstances under which Garibaldi made that speech—with the revolutionary Roman Republic being overwhelmed and Garibaldi needing to maintain the morale of his troops towards a highly hazardous retreat through the Apennine mountains—was in some ways comparable to Britain's situation with France being overwhelmed by the German offensive. . ."

Trying . . .


Trying to make a mountain from a plethora of dust.
But reality trains directly, its fan.
Seems tremendously unjust.

Irrespective of size, or the power they apply,
The aim is but to stifle me.
But my gut implores  - Just Try!

Dancing . . .

 


They dance together.
Just watch their feet in flight.
They’re Fred & Ginger,
But only when the music’s right.

The wedding was a big event.
The champagne flowed
And so many dollars were spent.
The social season now complete,
He picked her up and 
Swept her right off of her feet.
They looked so sweet.

Dance, just dance the night away.
Tomorrow brings a new day.
That’s their only chance to play.
Tomorrow brings a new day.
Everything was going right.
The truth won’t see the daylight.
Now they can’t avoid the fights.
The truth won’t see the daylight.

Something’s gone awry.
They dance together;
Never look into each other’s eyes.
The feeling isn’t quite the same.
But was it ever?
Which of the two is to blame?
It’s such a shame.
