Thoughts of the Hour --- 12/7/09

Joy

What a day to be feeling Joy.

The blind has been lifted from my head.

I am free and clear

To honestly think and hear,

And speak my mind.

What a wonderful feeling this happiness is.

Floating on thin air,

Gliding through my day.

A smile, a wave

To somebody new

Its a whole new approach of going on my way

The mood is Legato

The pace, Allegro.

Flowing quickly from place to place

Smoothly hasteful,

Resulting in bliss.

Week 11 Poem: Music

Music

No more words remain,

All thats left is song.

The notes on the page

Start to relieve my heart of rage.

This cacophony of words

Turns into a symphony of sounds.

Emotions and thoughts abound, resound

Even though no Ancient Language is spoken.

Images come to mind.

Eyes closed, tranquility creates an inner-peace

So kind, so moving.

And by just the use of sound,

Tears flow to eyes

And images go to head.

The emotions transfer smoothly

From pen to paper,

Paper to string.

It is this music that calms me

More than anything.

Week 10 Poem: Friendship

My Best Friend

Mostly sunny days

With a slightly rainy phase.

The rain clouds don’t ever mean anything bad.

We need them to survive.

Without them,

We would never have flowers to give to each other,

Or rain to dance in,

Or rainbows to marvel at.

That’s the way it is for you and me.

We may have our hard times,

But there is always a rainbow at the end of the road.

Always one more thing to be grateful for.

Looking back at the pictures, the memories start to flood.

Innocence and youthfulness-- Jumping from puddles to mud.

Nothing can separate us

Nothing can bring us down.

Even through our time of distance, we’ve made our friendship grow,

And after all the time we've spent together, I'm pleased with the status quo.

Week 9 Poem: Food

Food Poem

Healthy, wealthy business-folk

Starving their souls of compassion,

Starving the poor of nutrition.

Needy, greedy, spoiled folk.

The waste cycle continues.

Buy and toss.

Buy and throw away.

All this processed food,

Using more chemicals than food itself;

Creating health issues that shouldn’t even exist

Chemicals that trigger depression and anxiety,

Irritability and hyper-activity.

Marketed towards children,

But affecting the world,

Downing ourselves in the Red #40 Lake.

HFCS and MSG:

The acronyms of the century.
