"Outside"

I stand on the sidelines of life

and look out through the window pain.

I see others enduring trouble and strife.

Why step out into this pouring rain?

People ask questions with gun or knife.

My answer would surely be in vein.

"Reality"

I feel lost like in a dream

and cannot awake so it would seem.

I see the world through sleepy eyes.

and try to look beyond the disguise.

I must try to make some sense

of this world outside my fence.

Is there something real in this world?

People I see, what are their aims?

They tell lies and play silly games.

I don't feel I play a part

or would I even want to start.

People seem to be the same way

through morning, noon, through night or day.

Is there someone real in this world?

There must be one, someone like me

perhaps many more maybe two or three.

Who like to live just enjoy life

and stay away from games and strife.

Where can one find this rare soulmate

who sees through eyes blind to hate?

"The Grand Question"

After God places us upon the earth

does he watch us after our birth?

Are our earthly bodies simply on loan

and are we mainly on our own?

What of all the pain and sorrow

just part of our lives we borrow?

We stumble off our lives true path

and then will endure Gods mighty wrath.

When we feel we've lost our way

could this be the time to pray?

"Cherish The Day"

To the young boys playing down in the creek

growing up fast is not the aim you seek.

You may find some boredom in your youth, but

will it be better being long in the tooth?

Enjoy the times now for they go too fast

frolic with friends as if today were your last.

Why be so quick to leave this day behind

the future will come swiftly you will soon find.

"Sleep"

The eyes droop.

The head slumps.

Defeat is at hand.

The flesh and soul battle daily.

The soul has won once more

As it will at journeys end.

Fear not and accept this fate.

Succumb to sleep, engage in dreams

Or insanity is sure to come.

Dreams are pageants to divert us

While the soul reports to haunts

Always obscured to the conscious mind.

"Yikes"

Yikes!!
