The sun shines down
In between the clouds
On the holy land
With snow upon the ground
The birds all come and gather
They chirp, and pitter patter
As goddess idols watch from afar
They face the northern star
Peaceful and serene  
As the mighty hath foreseen
My Minds Scenario

I write because the moments right
A write to heal my soul
To vent all of my frustration
And to clear out some room to grow

I’m passionate about the way I feel
When I relinquish my control
It lets me hold on to something real
And embrace my pain and sorrow

If I hold on to it for too long
I start to feel real low
I need some way to release it
And to let my feelings show

Some people look to self medicate
Others hit skid row
But I’m not going down that path
In my minds scenario

So I write down everything I think
To help learn what I don’t already know
Maybe there’s something that clicks
That I learned so long ago
Mother bird builds her nest
Sticks, and twigs, and feathered crest
Camouflaged well, for the eggs she protects
All while prepared for whatever comes next

Hidden away high up in the trees
On a thick sturdy branch
surrounded by leaves
She tends to her eggs for whatever they need
And keeps them afar from any sly thieves
While singing love songs with the greatest of ease

Mother bird, she’s soft and clean
Vibrant, yet seldom seen
She clings to her tasks
But still has her dreams
Of all that’s real and make-believe

And if and when her tasks complete
She’ll revel in her ambiguity
Turning something ugly into beauty
And living each day wild and free
Enriched spirituality identifies
What it is that we envision in the minds eye
Where fear and self doubt goes to die
And where the answers are found for the question “why”?

There’s serenity and peace
Knowledge taught and reached
All in the minds eye
Under blue skies
And eternal sunshine
‪Passed down the family tree‬

‪The sound it made was sweet‬

‪Whimsical and carefree‬

‪Where the fingers and keys meet‬

‪It’s where we find serenity ‬

‪Like an oasis or retreat ‬

‪Until the clock strikes three‬

‪It’s what makes the day complete ‬
‪Chilling days have befallen us ‬
‪As a virus states its claim‬
‪A global epidemic‬
‪Known only by it’s name ‬

‪I have not yet succumb to‬
‪It’s gripping cold embrace ‬
‪Surrounded by it’s energy ‬
‪I hope I’ll never have to face ‬

‪It’s only gaining speed now‬
‪How will it be contained ‬
‪Without a cure to save us‬
‪Our lives forever changed ‬
‪What’s behind ‬
‪Tormented eyes ‬
‪Without a smiles pose‬
‪One hundred years‬
‪Have passed by‬
‪Right underneath her nose‬
‪Fundamentally conflicted ‬
‪Is all she’s ever known‬
‪Stood out from the crowd‬
‪Forsaken and alone‬
‪Wise beyond her years‬
‪Solemn, but divine‬
‪A flashback from the past‬
Is ‪for you to decide‬
