Spare a Smile

image source
Today i awoke,

got out of bed,

still can't seem

to fix my head.

Tried what seemed

to work before,

my attitude

 is really poor.

Wishing away

the anger now,

don't want to

spend another frown.

Perhaps someone

will spare a smile,

it will be mine for awhile.

When that smile

has been spent,

all the extras

have been lent,

i hope i can find

one of my own,

so i can have one to loan.

Someone will be

pissed like me,

mad for nothing,

want to scream.

But i will have a

smile to spare,

it will help to

ease their cares.

So scrounge up

a smile for me,

maybe then i

can be happy.

Things to be loved

A brisk, quiet morning with bird songs

and puffy, rose tinted clouds

Peace, rain, parks

The first catch of the day

A full belly at bedtime

Finally a ride, hitching all day

Smiles

Productivity

Applause

Mom's soft hand on your forehead

Hugs from most anyone, anytime

Home and Hearth

Good music played loudly

Bad music played softly

Gentle animals and persons

Sex

Gods green Earth

Variety

Individuality

Cold Cokes and Hot Coffee

etc...

Friends



image source

Study my life, the times gone past,

funny these years went so fast.

Many friends i've had, many lost.

The ones i've kept, ones i love,

stand by me, they know it's rough.

Come hold me close, hold me tight,

dry your eyes, it'll be alright.

See times so short it's nearly gone,

about all you can do is carry on.

Live your life to please yourself,

no other goal is right.

Those who condemn can go to hell,

they don't live your life.

It may seem you can't go on,

take it all in stride,

never lose your pride.

Know that you're loved for being you,

and that we're here to help you through.

That's part of what friendship is about,

just helpin' one another out.

There are things you cannot lose,

but we all gotta pay our dues.

And though it all seems so damn hard,

you should remember who we are.

Don't forget, your friends are near,

and don't forget why we're still here.

Memories



Paint my memories the color of dreams,

shade them with nuances,

both brilliant and subtle of hue.

Give them form and texture,

warmth and life,

that i may always hold

dear the wonder of living.

No matter how dreary or bland

existence has or will become,

remembrance will entertain me.

Give me perfect recollection

of the finest times, smell and

savor, texture, emotion,

that i may be brave in the face

of adversity and calm in times

of crisis. Not so vivid they force

me to live in the past, merely

to sustain me through the future,

and reassure me of peace.

Lullaby



Sleep the deep sleep, now at midnight,

drink the deepest drink.

Rest your brightly shining lights,

in night, the blackest ink.

Even as you drowse,

the glory of your white light,

echoes in the darkness,

awaiting your awakening,

to rekindle its joy.

Dream the kindest dream tonight,

of fairies in their circle,

weaving a dance of flowers,

twisting their magic about.

The tiniest of chimes,

twinkle at your whim,

and crystal prisms reflect,

your presence by your light.

respond with dancing rainbows,

treat yourself to dream castles,

high in cotton candy clouds,

full of maidens fair,

and nobles mighty,

a kingdom of kindness.

Sweet lute and lyric to lull

the dream to sleep,

on feather pillows.

Wander



No matter where you go,

be it near or far,

when you finally get there,

well then, there you are.

Find you are the same one,

who tried to go away.

Travel can't change you,

only the place you stay.

Perhaps you will see

something that is new.

Find that you are wiser,

and find you are still you.

Trippin'




Dancing on the thin air of life,

running circles around myself.

Losing track of space and time,

because of sights, sounds, and smells.

Laughing in the face of fear.

Smiling in spite of it all.

Knowing that you're always here,

to catch me if i fall.

Enveloping myself in evening,

drinking in the cool of nite.

Living in a world of freedom,

so that i can sleep alright.

Getting by on the skin of my teeth,

but getting by all the same.

Life goes on until you die,

no matter how things change.

Vortex


image source
Tripping, falling into the vortex,

this wild whirlpool of colors.

Spinning out of this world,

twirling into stranger times.

Out of control, now, falling faster.

The years roll around me,

like some psychedelic cyclone.

Down ever down, falling to zero.

The colors dim to grey and white,

dissipating my existence,

into a fine grey mist of smoke,

that is still spinning slow,

expanded into a turning

universe of star like molecules.
