My Life Is A Battery

My life is a battery

charged with visions and dreams,

connected with others

in fate’s unknown schemes.

With so much resistance

I fight my troubles,

only to find in reality

someone has burst my bubbles.

The touch of another

so often creates a spark,

but with the passing of time

I’m again in the dark.

The circuit expands

for the current to reveal,

no power on Earth

can match what I feel.

With visions and dreams

my whole being will extend,

through the passing of time

from beginning to end.

My Day Will Come

My body a temple

my mind a shrine,

each approaches perfection

with the passing of time.

Like day and night

they’re separate but one,

together they have

the power of the Sun.

A time is coming

and it surely must be near,

when all I quest and desire

will overcome my fear.

As a total entity

complete in sum,

with the strength of the universe

my day will come.

Molten Sunset

Molten sunset

so beautiful and bright,

life’s eternal gate

letting in the night.

Slowly dimming

allowing darkness to come,

with each new star

sensing the universe hum.

Whether good or bad

the day is through,

time to be close

feel the real you.

Fading and mysterious

yet calm and embracing,

becoming that friend

so needed in life’s pacing.

For some it’s a time

to be active and loud,

still for others

to drift quietly like a cloud.

All of us together

but each of us alone,

seeking life’s comfort

deep down to the bone.

No wonder we love it

flowing different each night,

molten sunset

so beautiful and bright.
