Scarlette

A single rising red balloon
Ascends through clear blue sky;
A tiny scarlet silhouette.
A question: simply, why?

A flame so bright, so briefly burns,
Yet wastes no thought on regret.
Laughing sweetly as she flies; free.
Impossible to forget.

goodnight

i'm sick and i'm tired
and yet the world turns
forcing me to turn with it
keep on rolling
toiling
wishing i could just lie down
for a while and say goodnight
to all that is expected of me

the new days dawn
bringing new life
but not to mine
the same old questions
problems
issues arise and i am to solve them
make it all better

mommies never get to rest
never unwind completely
we are always on the go
looking out for those
who cannot yet fend for themselves
little do they know
they will someday wish they could say
goodnight

Reflecting Time

Looking out through the window
Reflecting time's illusions.
A new perspective.

Exhaust

Exhausting pollutants
Surrounding everything
No where to hide
To forget the problem.

What happens
When we realize
It was all for nothing
All for money?

We will find
Peace of mind
In the decline
Of mankind.

Disconnect

Disconnect from the current network

Don’t forget who you are

And what it’s like to live

Together

Now

Life has a way of living

And dying in harmony

Illusions

I'd like to unplug but everything's wireless these days
I can't seem to find the time to unwind
Stop wasting time
Continue the journey
Discover the strength
Unleash the passion
Let go of illusions

Your hand

You take my breath away
I gasp, grinning
And beg You to stay

No one has ever enslaved me this way
Your hand draws me closer and bids me obey
