Beachside Villa Nap

Floating in the primordial gypsum of nothing

Silent without intention or any desired direction.

Darkness envelops as eyelids grow heavy 

as deep sleep consumes consciousness 

Awareness of only the thundering ocean 

Desperately endlessly beating a shoreline

Troubles worries and stress melt away 

With the serendipitous tide of salt water

Warm sea breezes waft in open windows 

Beckoning in the afternoon sunlight

In a room sparsely large enough for a bed 

Out humble narrator snores deliriously 

I should awaken for I have much to do

But my dreams keep me in place…

Life And Death and Dreams 

Life’s a fine line we all walk

Choose careful words when you talk

Many puzzles have been solved

Grow and evolve like corn stalks.

Death an end or beginning

Live each day, keep on grinning

Don’t waste a single moment, friend

In the end we’re all winning.

Sleep a chance for us to dream

Some dream awake it may seem

Don’t let hard times make you sink

Enjoy and drink up the cream.

One day it’ll be over 

Called back like tired soldiers

Knowing this all, surely soothes 

Time moves like endless boulders…

Wish Me A Fish

Wish me a fish 

Make me a dish 

That is delish

Fulfill my wish.

Tell me a tale 

About a whale

Who, without fail

was never frail.

Sing me a song 

I’ll sing along

Would that be wrong

Would it belong?

Share a secret 

Never forget 

Alone regret

Is a tough bet.

Show me your dance

I’ll watch you prance

Per happenstance

At my first chance.

Let’s end this rhyme

It’s about time 

and not a crime

Likely sublime…

Words Serve

Words serve a purpose

Purpose to move people

People who are everything in the world

World wide peace is what I want to see

Seeing is truly believing in actions

Actions display our true nature

Nature is what doing what feels right

Right is the opposite of wrong

Wronging others is not an option

Options are one of many choices

Choices made determine direction

Direction is how we go about moving

Moving towards our lives desires

Desires are powerful wants

Wants are what we’d like in life

Life is what we make of it until its end

End of this poem…

A New Phase

Between sleeps today I had a vision.

Opened eyes to silent but familiar dark room, alone but not alone.

Holding a candle which is the only light.

I blow it out with parsed lips.

Silent darkness, the waxy smokiness wafting in the air for a moment then gone.

This journey’s phase is at an end and the next, underway…
