Who will you be?

Who will you be?

….

Amidst the checkered landscape of life,

The raining heavens and the cloudy moods.

A cold steel pyramid of success,

A towering symbol of love and romance,

Standing proud and tall,

A lighthouse for miles,

A beacon for all and sundry to look up to.

…

The humble human shield,

With room for only one or two.

When the world turns upside down,

A red ark turned inside out,

Remaining open and exposed,

Wearing an outward garb,

In colors of the human heart.

Feeling, filling to the brim.

…

Who will you be?

A KNOCKOUT ESCAPE

When life takes you by rude surprise

Despite all safety checks

Shocked and numbed

Paranoid with fear

When you can’t understand what’s going on

When you’ve been pushed and pulled from all sides

When all your plans come to a screeching stop

When every door to escape is locked

None seem to open

When the water’s gone way above your head

That sinking feeling

When you’re drowning in the deep

And all out of breath

When all your strength’s long spent

When you’ve given every ounce of fight

And you still find yourself stuck

In a serious jam

Holding on for dear life

No one can hear your screams

The end seems near

Still

I will not go quietly into the night

I will find a way out

I will keep pulling at the chains to set myself free

Even amid crashing worlds

Running out of time

I will die trying!

If need be!

If need be…

.

“…Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.”

-Dylan Thomas

A Royal Companion

Who sniffs out the good from the bad

Licks, licks and licks…always likes the taste of you

Never gets enough of touch touch

His flippity floppy ears

Always listen for His master’s voice

His adorable ways

Force you to make coochie-coo kissy faces

He brings out the child in everyone

And forces a smile to break out on the most sullen face

Always his family ‘s lucky mascot and cheerleader

 

Indeed

None can show you love, loyalty, kindness and friendship

Like a dog

No matter if he/she be black, brown, grey or white

 

A pat on the back, a good belly rub& some good food

And

He paws his way into your heart forever

.

Ray of sunshine

Sleepless nights and noisy days

…

Who but you?

Can bring a smile to my face on the cloudiest day

Enliven my tired gaze

Soften life’s rough edges

Warm the heart hardened  by the cold ways of the world

Amongst the black, white and greys

You’re my ray of sunshine

…

Your hand in mine

My hand in thine

And

Knowing no matter what

I’m not alone

…

That’s enough

.

“I’ve got sunshine on a cloudy day
When it’s cold outside I’ve got the month of May
Well I guess you’d say
What can make me feel this way?…”

A Safe Haven

 

In the shadows

Furrowed forehead

…

When there’s nothing more left to do

When everything’s uncertain

None  can see into the future

There’s no evading the truth

…

Feeling the midnight blues

…

Longing for someplace safe

A shelter in the storm

My head bows in surrender

And  I enter His embrace

He holds me closer and tighter

Who knew?!

My safe haven was so close by

Closer than even hands and feet

.

.

.

“…Suddenly I turned around and she was standin’ there
With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns
Come in, she said
I’ll give ya shelter from the storm…”

-Bob Dylan
