I'm Going Home

I’m Going Home 

Pain and agony

Wash over me

Feelings of despair

Dominate my heart and soul

My senses no longer work

My time is short

I can feel my life draining away

The end is near

My Lord beckons me

Calling me away

From my wasted body

I’m going home

Fallen Gods, Magpie Tales #280

Fallen Gods

The sky is cloudy

No crowds to be rowdy

An empty square

There is electricity in the air

Crashing down from the cloud

Was a mask like shroud

Landing with a loud clang

The steel mask rang

Lying on its side

Just like the wearer had died

And went for a downward ride

The mask looked peaceful and serene

It came from the sky

In the blink of an eye

Like a fallen god

Isn’t that odd

A fallen god

With nary a nod

Landing on the stone

Bereft of the throne

Time

Time

Time

Flows

Like a

River, at

Times fast and raging,

Other times it’s slow and peaceful

The best times are those spent in the company of loved ones.

Lord...

Whimsical

Kindred spirits seek

Earthly delights,

And fluffy roughage

To bolster their

Gumption to get through life

Don't Worry, Be Happy

Don’t Worry, Be Happy

When life gets you down

Your face turns into a frown

Don’t worry, be happy

When a project seems lost

And the work is going to be tossed

Don’t worry, be happy

If you suffer from writer’s block

With nary a poem in the dock

Don’t worry, be happy

Live in the now

Strive to wow

And constantly vow

To

Don’t worry and be happy
