No Longer a Choice

Tuesday, August 11th, 2009

Where did the time go;
Where is the me of yesterday?
Where did my dreams go,
And why am I here today?
How did I get here
And can I go back?
The future’s not clear;
My vision’s gone black.
Dare I go on,
Must I keep to this course?
Is the past really gone,
Am I cut off from my source?
No longer a choice,
The path [...]

Let Light Invade

Monday, July 13th, 2009

Let light invade,
And drive the darkness all away;
Let confidence come,
And then tear self-doubt to shreds.
Let sadness fade,
And let not happiness be prey
Nor hope succumb
To life’s many fickle threads.
Let anger go,
And cast out suspicion too;
Let fear escape,
With despair as well to follow.
Let power flow,
To fight all existence through;
And let courage find shape
In a heart no longer [...]

Always the Wall

Wednesday, July 1st, 2009

Taking down a wall
That will not go away;
Grows stronger still and rises high,
A little more each day.
Breaking down the wall
That just won’t go away;
Chip here and there, but though I try,
The wall seems set to stay.
It hides my mind, conceals my soul,
And yet how I long to show
The world who I really am;
Bask in recognition’s [...]

Fire Dies

Sunday, May 10th, 2009

The fire dies,
The spark has gone,
The embers lose their glow;
The soul gives in,
The mind gives up,
The heart begins to slow.
But Death is not
The culprit, no,
It’s hope that’s burned away
And with its loss
The self endures
The same kind of decay.
The light will fade,
The warmth will cease;
One difference, though, it’s true,
That with the glint
Of future love
The flame might [...]

Strange, the Flow

Monday, May 4th, 2009

Strange, the wind
Blows fast and
Strong, lifting the
Sand from far-off
Lands and carrying
It away to
Distant, lonely shores.
Strange, the waves
Roll quick and
Rough, stealing the
Sand from far-off
Lands and taking
It away to
Distant, lonely shores.
Strange, the water
And the air,
Strange, the flow
Across the world;
Strange, the sea
And strange, the
Sky, their hold
Upon the world.

Bloggers’ Prayer

Wednesday, February 25th, 2009

Our Blogging, which art in WordPress,
Hallowed be its name;
Our writing done, the comments come,
And our spam queues please stay barren.
Then give us, this day, our daily blogroll,
And forgive us our absences,
As we forgive those who forget
To read us.
And lead us not into stagnation,
But deliver us from babble.
For ours is the wisdom, and the candor,
And the [...]

Evening Haiku

Saturday, October 18th, 2008

Command line is stuck
And the GUI has frozen;
It’s time to reboot.

my assorted ramblings, preserved for my future amusement and embarrassment
